Project #Tardigram

Setting up a darkroom is something I’ve wanted to do for nearly 25 years. It’s never been a priority, for some reason. Or it’s been too impractical. Or I’ve thought it was too impractical. Turns out it isn’t as difficult as you might think.

With all the photographs I was now able to print, I figured I should do something interesting. Something that would make me happy, but maybe also make other people happy. The idea of something completely opposite to Instagram came to mind, and I really enjoy it.

It brings joy.

Below, are two maps, the left is of all the approximate unique locations that I’ve sent a #tardigram postcard to (I’ve sent more than one to Melbourne, but I’m not going to drop a pin in each suburb). On the right, is everywhere I’ve received a postcard from (or know one is inbound).

If you would like a postcard, please drop me a line karloskar (at) karloskar (dot) org, and let me know what your postal address is, and one will get popped in the post for you soon.
