A new project by Stuart Bowditch. Starting in 2010, Stuart will send a series of postcards from various location from around the world to a variety of friends and family 'back home'. The postcards will be made only from locally sourced materials and stationary. Instead of the customary picture or photograph on the front, Stuart will use the imagery of words to describe the place that he is in, leaving the recipient to form their own idea of the surroundings.

#2 - Sent
Postcard Number 2, sent from Lake Palace Road Sub-Post Office, Udaipur, Rajastan, India on 16th January 2010 at a cost of Rs15 each. There seems to be no particular comprehension of the 'queue' in India. Each person fends for themselves and pushes to the front ahead of everyone else. But there is no anger or rage at any of the other people pushing, only contentment at having completed whatever task was being queued for. After I had got to the front and the man had finished pfaffing about he sold me some lovely stamps with butterflies on. All 5 men in the Post Office had moustaches.
