Jack Hietpas, Cee, Galicia, Spain: On Saturday, the rain finally let up enough to permit an afternoon of walking around and exploring. My first stop was an abandoned shipyard just a five minute walk from my apartment. I see the structures all the time from afar but I’d never climbed over the fence to take a closer look. It’s an eerie, unsettling spot and I didn’t stay for too long. I need to learn more about its history.
Kate Miller, Manhasset, NY: Hello from Manhasset, New York, for the first time in the postcards series. I’m home, and everything is weird. I don’t have many photos from this past week but I was in Ciudad de México where I reunited with my parents, and then home on Friday. I did come home at the best time of the year, at least; all the trees are fiery orange and all the sunsets are bright pink and purple. But I feel a little insane and I sort of don’t know what to do with myself. Everything is the same here and I am different.
Melanie Holterman, Milwaukee, WI: Beyoncé's manicure.
Gillian Waldo, Milwaukee, WI: Went to the protest organized by PSL Milwaukee in solidarity with journalists in Gaza. It was good to see people in the streets, and we marched to the Journal Sentinel building. There was a nice percussion section, and it was unseasonably warm for November.
Elm McKissick, Portland, ME: Visited my dad this weekend in Portland ME. The trip included MANY trips to the various goodwills that are around him. One of the stores had this picture. Freaky! And kinda funny! I’m choosing to believe this scene is a still from an amateur stop-motion production.
(We didn’t buy — my dad thought it was too weird to hang)
Britany Gunderson, Windsor, ON, Canada: I got to attend Media City film festival in Windsor, Ontario this past week. It was a great festival with super solid programming and the most filmmakers I've ever seen in attendance. We went to the Phog Lounge bar every night after the screenings, where they had ceiling tiles painted by various people. I kept catching myself looking at the ceiling, drifting from the conversations.

What an absolutely excellent bunch of postcards this week i love them (not referring to my own). I wanted to just reply to people's postcards from this week in my next postcard, but Jack said he wants me to start a trend of using the blogspot comments feature. I hope people will follow, as Jack seems to really want that. All of this is to say that I love these photos so much this week, especially Elm's -- I want that photo!!!!!!! Exactly the right amount of weird for what I like to hang on my walls.
