I’ve been doing this for a while now and it’s so nice to receive mail from random creative strangers.
Sign up is month to month so no commitment!
Go on, give it a try!

Thee Parkside. Often the home for our monthly SF Instant Photowalks. Home to a real analog photobooth and a venue for punks bands
Under threat from a new landlord. I hope it manages to survive.

Made my first Van Dyke Brown prints !
First one of the dead tosses is over exposed but I kind of like it anyway. Second one is much better. I’m definitely going to be doing more of this.
