Redundant concrete strainer post still holding a long dead tree at the edge of the Waimea Inlet near Nelson, New Zealand.
POST is an ongoing project where I am questioning, do postboxes still have a place in our society? In my generation the everyday analogue process of posting a letter is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Postboxes lie dormant, statues and monuments of a bygone era. The premise of this project is to revisit this analogue process to get as many people involved as possible, mailing postcards in the form of photographs.
Inspired by the Mail Art projects, I want people to photograph postboxes in their travels, print them off and write a reflective statement on the back of the photograph (postcard) and return it to me. These entries will act as the thoughts of the individual in their travels in their day to day lives much in the same way people tweet and update their Facebook statuses. The collection will form a record of people keeping this analogue process alive. All “postcards” sent to me will feature both on the POST blog site, and will feature in the book.
Here's how you can get involved:
1. Take a picture of a Postbox either in your travels or one close to home.
(Landscape as opposed to portrait)
2. Print out at 6 x 4, write a reflective statement on the back of the photo.
(Sorta like a diary entry)
3. Stamp it and return it to: 166 Vandyke Road, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, LU7 3HS.
Thanks for taking part!

The Postman Always Rings Twice II
Den Haag .
Enige duizenden postbezorgers kwamen vandaag naar Den Haag om voor het hoofdkantoor van TNT Post hun ongenoegen te uiten over de voorgenomen ontslagen.
De landelijke demonstratie is om 12.00 uur begonnen bij het hoofdkantoor van TNT in Den Haag.
Elfduizend van de 23.000 banen zouden verloren gaan, waarbij 4500 mensen via gedwongen ontslag het bedrijf zouden verlaten.TNT Post heeft inmiddels een voorstel gedaan waarbij dat aantal ontslagen kan worden teruggebracht tot 3100.
De reorganisatie is volgens TNT Post nodig, omdat er minder post is. Bovendien heeft het bedrijf door de liberalisering van de postmarkt te maken met
concurrentie van nieuwkomers als Sandd en Selekt Mail.

I seem to be on a roll with these window shots... I've now started a series of them - hopefully I'll actually do something interesting with them all someday!
yeah I'm gonna lose
also is this showing up in the group? when ever I go on and I'm not logged on my photos don't show up in groups that I put them in, how can I fix that?
Since we put up our tree on Christmas Eve, I didn't get too many opportunities for the mandatory "dog in front of bokehed decorated tree" portrait - so here we go :)
