peanutbutter

I'm 19 and I'm currently studying in my first year of a three year photography course =) My favourite colour is bright fire-engine red, and I also like purple, blue and black. I don't drink tea or coffee.
I love the 1950's, clothes, cars, furniture, everything. I like the advertising and pin-up girl style of this era.
I am very much a believer in the Joy of the Envelope, there's nothing like seeing your name and address handwritten on the outside of something someone created especially for you =D
I would love to do private swaps, especially for polaroids or photobooth strips.
I collect postage stamps so I prefer to receive mail with stamps on instead of the printed barcodes that the post office uses.

I love photography books, especially ones that focus on a particular photographer =)
Some favourite authours are: Dennis Lehane, Jaclyn Moriarty, Simmone Howell, John Marsden, Bernie Monagle

There's so many, but here's a few; The Darjeeling Limited, Life as a house, Garden state, Hamlet, Ferris bueller's day off, Amelie, Bandits, The Pirate movie, Titanic, The Royal tenenbaums, The Butterfly effect, Crazy/beautiful, A lot like love, Fight club, Mary and Max

Veronica Mars! I also like Dexter.

Indie, alternative, rock, some pop. bands like Kings of leon, The Shins, The killers, OK GO, kaiser chiefs, British india, Motion city soundtrack, Yeah yeah yeahs, the presets, operator please, kisshcasy, cold war kids, Architecture in helsinki, Augie march, Modest mouse, MGMT, The Ting Tings, Vampire Weekend, We Are Scientists, Simon and Garfunkel etc

postcards

I love to receive postcards. I have reccently started collecting and I am especially interested in the following types of postcards:

• Vintage. I especially like original vintage postcards that have been posted, but I also like blank vintage postcards and vintage designs on modern postcards.
  
  • Pin-up girl. I love vintage pin-up girl postcards, even reproductions.
• State/country names. I love postcards with large font names on them or ones that say 'Greetings from...'
• New York City postcards.
• Black and white.
• Art/photography postcards, even ones that come free at gallery exhibitions etc.
• Anything unusual, interesting, brightly coloured or bizarre. Homemade is also good if it steers clear of anything too cutesy or stereotypical. I like weird, messy, inexplicable things.

I don't like free/advert postcards that have writing on the front. Without writing is fine though.
