John Derian, who utilizes vintage letters,
In an ever growing world that seems to be texting, emailing, faxing, instant messaging, commenting, myspacing, facebooking, and now twittering....RAZ celebrates the romance of postcards and letters from a someone out there. I personally find all feedback and responses very exciting, whether positive or negative. But perhaps nothing excites me more than finding a correspondence from a friend in a foreign city, state or even your own hood, amongst the regular barrage of bills, junk mail, and periodicals. Maybe its the thought of someone actually sending you more than an email with an attachment, or maybe its the handwriting, or the stamps, or that fancy stamping done by the post office? Well lets just say its the total look...a look that you don't just throw away. Its a mini "souvenir" from the sender, their handwriting, their choice of artwork, the day they mailed the piece...and its signed! Look at it as new artwork for your cubicle at work or the fridge! Instant conversation piece! Wow, people think about you all over the world! YOU are very popular! Well...the bottom line is that it does boil down to thought and effort...a lot more special than "comments" you receive on your social networking accounts. And they can be GORGEOUS to have and collect and perhaps one day bring you memories of the day you received them...ahhh the nostalgia! One of life's simple pleasures to have and moments to cherish....
