This is a very special letter for me, since I thought I’d never going to be able to read it. It took a while to make our letters reach each other, but finally we could start building the bridge between us. Bahanur is such a minded and good person. Definetly one of those person’s I’d like to share a cup of tea and hours of interesting conversation. We have several things in common (like our love for the art of cinema) so it’s really exciting to meet such a wonderful young lady.
Claudia from Barcelona sent me this cute envelope with such treasures inside. As you might know my love for photography is impossible to quantify. So, everytime I get these photo postcards in my mailbox, I’ll surely have a brighter day. Even better if they take me back to a beautiful inspiring place as Barcelona. It was a pleasure meeting this girl a little more.
Amazing contribution for my project sent by the sweet Anna Beach from Ohio, USA. She really nailed this thing, and proved that the simple things are always the prettiest. Also, she added a note on the back of the page wich says:
“Dreams are so essential to the soul… much as life, air or water are to the body. People may tell you to quit dreaming, to live in the real world. Never forget that many of the most beautiful things in this real world were once someone’s unrealistic dreams.”
Two more handmade postcards. The first one, also inspired in Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte was sent to Gizem, in Turkey. The second was sent to Bárbara, in Portugal.
I got this on my mailbox some years ago, and nowadays I still don’t know who sent it to me. It just a photograph, a delightful one. All I know is that it came all the day from Phillipines to my wall.
I love the rebelliousness of snail mail, and I love anything that can arrive with a postage stamp. There’s something about that person’s breath and hands on the letter.
One of my long time favourite piece of incoming mail. It’s so soothing and sweet. It says: “For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), it’s always ourselves we find in the sea.”
As an aspiring photographer, it really makes me happy when people have that in mind and send me beautiful prints. You can’t tell it by my picture, but there’s a special bright touch of colour on these. This three were sent from Washington, USA.
This is a heartfelt project that unites letter writters and postcard collectors, into a kindred community. For those who love and wish to share smiles, love and kindness to unknown mailboxes, all around the world.
