Kiss5Tigers post cards

I found some post cards from a photography project a few years ago. The contact information on them is still good so I was trying to decide what to do with them. Then I remembered that I have a huge mailing list from IUOMA that I never manage to reach out to. So you may get a post card from me. Feel free to send mail art, hit me up on facebook or read my blog. I welcome the interaction.
