Cardinal Point



I've been fascinated by post cards since I was a child. Sadly, the huge collection I built up as an adolescent got lost somewhere in time.

So now I'm building a new collection online. I scan all the post cards I pick up on my travels and post them here.

If you have post cards you'd like to share email them to me here along with any other comments or suggestions.

Hope you enjoy the show!
