About ODÉ...

Hi Fellow Postcrossers and beware :-D the story is long...

I love traveling and meeting new people, no matter how.

When it comes to Postcrossing, my slogan goes: Put some LOVE into it! My ideal postcard would be DATED and WRITTEN in such a PERSONAL MANNER that it highlights the personality of the sender.

I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW YOUR FAVOURITE WORD (in your language, with translation, if not one of the languages I know) AND THE REASON WHY?

I would also love to see reflections of your ongoing interests/passions/thoughts/hobbies/dreams in the text and in the image. You know, being technically perfect is nothing in comparison to being GENUINE!

Send your card without envelope, if possible, and in any case write (a lot!) on it.

I like to think in a positive & loving manner! ;)

From the visual point of view I prefer cards depicting any of these (in random order):

- spirals (as symbol of eternity)
- modern design objects, graphic design
- black and white photography (especially of everyday life curiosities or philosophy, sensual women and nature)
- natural art = art made by nature
- stone cults
- TWINS (I am a twin myself!)
- AERIAL (single) VIEWS of cities/landscapes
- single views of MAJOR/INTERESTING cities
- works of art in public setting
- fancy CARS (but no formula cars)
- ELVIS Presley (beau!)
- any James BOND (manly!)
- Bill CLINTON (charming!)
- DIANA (Queen of Hearts!)
- Marilyn MONROE (Woman par excellence!)
- PARIS Hilton (as THE love-hate celebrity)
- Bruce WILLIS (sympathy!)
- movie cards
- provocative cards
- images inspired by visionary surrealism (or turning ordinary into extraordinary)
- hyperrealism (or photorealism) - ancient (17th to 19th centuries) or contemporary
- (wannabe) MOSAICS
- ancient and modern writing systems
- special signs in special settings
- petroglyphs and geoglyphs
- home-made cards (everybody is a Creator) but no self-prints
- nostalgic cards (vintage)

Notice: the country on the card does not have to be yours, I'm open to the whole world (especially for Latin American and African realistic everyday life images)
- retro ADs and well-done modern AD cards (as global reflections of ongoing trends)

(PLEASE, if possible, no [european] churches, no multi-views and no animals or plants unless your story is tied to them in a special manner)

Special note: If you know somebody who possesses (old or new, written or unwritten) card (or book!) depicting the Nasca lines (situated in Peru), please send it to me. Will pay well for it!

Best greeting to all postcrossers. This is our concrete WorldWideWeb made of interconnected and intercommunicating people!
