Fotografo de Bodas, Santiago

September 23, 2011

There is an amazing wedding photographer based in Seattle, Sean Flannigan, who did a postcard project. So I take no credit for this amazing idea.

He had people comment on his blog and then email him their address in order to receive a postcard from him with one of his photos on it. I signed up the first round that he did and was so excited when he actually sent me mail to Chile!

So I decided that I wanted to do something similar. I emailed him twice to ask if he minded me using his idea and he did not respond so the third time I wrote, I said I’d take his silence as an agreement that it was ok.

Anyways, I really love sending/receiving mail. I always buy postcards when we’re traveling, and I write them in whatever city we’re in, but then I forget to mail them and usually end up bringing them home with me and mailing them out months later. Like 8 months later sometimes. But still. It brings me joy

So I want to put my own little twist on the game. Rather than me choosing one photo to mail to everyone, I’m going to let you guys choose which pictures will go to postcard print. As of right now I have about 100 photos pre-selected for voting options. Based off of votes I will then print out the winning photos as postcards and I’ll do a post where whoever comments on it will get one mailed to them. Make sense?

So now it’s time to vote. You can vote for as many as you like, but if you are going to vote for all them then feel free to note vote. Mom, I’m talking to you.

And if you have a favorite photo that you really want to see as a postcard, tell me in the comments and I’ll make sure it’s in the next round of voting.

Yay! Fun! I can’t wait to see which photos you guys choose, and then I can’t wait to print them out and send them to you!

AWESOME. Postcards are the best. One question: am I crazy, or are there two #27s and no #29?

Those are all great pics, I had to vote for Capillas de Marmol, loved the water against the stone. It would be fun to get a postcard from Chile here in Mexico, I wonder how long it would take?

I like the ones of Barcelona, but I didn’t vote for them because I thought the first and last ones captured my mood for the day – if that makes sense.

I know this wasn’t the point, but I liked seeing the highlights of all your travels together in one place.
