I have just come across this blog by Christina Vanko. http://www.cristinavanko.com/modern-day-snail-mail

 

 

I wonder if she is a member of FPN.

very neat; i actually started this about a year ago; I find that it is easier to write down a longer message on a pad and take a picture of it; i find that typing long messages on the iphone to be annoying especially with having to re-correct the autocorrect feature... It started with my grad student texting me a question that was not very straight forward to answer. I wrote the reply on paper, photographed it and replied, followed by another handwritten + photographed message:

"This is how gentlemen text!"

There are a few people who do this on FPN, notably GClef. If I had better photography/scanning equipment, I would do this myself.

I would do this if I knew which folks have MMS. Not all the folks I text have smartphones and usually those without can't receive images.

I suspect most all of the pic posts in the Show your handwriting, pens and ink thread are by phone. I think you could take and post a pretty decent one with even a flip dumb phone.

 

Of course, SchmattFones make it extra ordinarily easy peasy.

My phone does not take picture. It is only a phone (and FM radio)

Getting out the camera, setting up lights, and then processing in Photoshop has kept me from doing handwritten posts. I don't have a cell phone at all, let alone a smart one...

That has to be the most inefficient way ever devised by mankind to deliver a message.

I don't know, I think the ten commandments has it beat for inefficiency all that climbing mountains and stuff.

Why anyone would devise an inefficient way is beyond me. Kinda reminds me of this...

I have to admit I only even try to read the handwritten photos--as lovely as many of them are--for handwritten ink reviews. Something about on-screen display makes it hard on my eyes.

 

EDIT: I have no problem with handwritten letters from pen pals! It's just the on-screen version that flummoxes me.
