RFF Postcard Project

RFF Postcard Project, anyone?
I have participated in a few of the Print Swaps we've done here at RFF and enjoyed doing so. But, I was thinking that something a bit more casual might be fun as well.
So, how about a postcard project?
I'm thinking to collect email and mailing addresses from everyone who wants to play, then I will email all those addresses to all of us. We then mail a 4" x 6" postcard to all the addresses in the list.
BW or color, no subject restrictions--well other than what the post office won't mail or might get someone in trouble; the image will be visible after all!, the same image on all your postcards( in other words, if we get 100 of us doing this, each person will make 99 postcards of the same photo), and home printed or outsourced--whichever the sender prefers.
Also, I'm thinking that since this time of year can be pretty hectic, to plan for mailing early in January 2012.
I suggest 4"x6" size because, at least here in the United States, that size is the least expensive to mail--29 cents domestic and 80 or 98 cents international.
Who wants to play?
RobAnd so also the idea of a postcard blog started. Click on the caption text of the postcards I put in this blog, to jump to the original RFF author comments.
Please keep also in mind that my snapshots of the received postcards doesn't render the real object properly. The following entries are only for documentation and respect to the involved RFF users. Copyright of the images belongs to the specific author.

A second card was in the post box (from UK). I see the initial idea behind this card, but the print is - as a few other b&w postcards - too dark to show all the grayscale details.
