Hi All,

I am still in the process of mailing the $25.00 rewards.  I would like to apologize that it is taking so long. Additionally, I still need to send out the rest of the surveys.  I have been a bit overwhelmed, but promise to keep on it.  Thanks so much for your patience.

In the meantime I have been shooting regularly and have just posted another update on my wordpress site.  Click here to see it.

More soon, and all the best.

Jon

Hello everyone,

I mailed the 5 inch prints last week, and am starting to hear that they are arriving.  Thanks for the great feedback.  I have printed the test prints for the 7 inch rewards and will start the production run of those today with the hope that I will mail them by next week.  I also hope to get the survey out to all the other backers by the end of this week and since the numbers are smaller, I hope to be able to get on those prints in the next few weeks.  My goal was April and I almost made it.  Thanks everyone for your patience. /  I was back shooting suitcases yesterday and we have moved the base of operations from the museum itself to the storage facility in Rotterdam where the cases are actually stored.  It took a while to get set up in an entirely new environment, but it is looking good.  Big thanks to the New York State Museum for their continued help with access to this amazing archive.

I have just posted the $25.00 reward photos on my photoshelter page.  When those of you who backed me at that level get the survey, follow the instructions carefully and make your selections from the six shots.  I will wait two weeks before I make the prints so everyone has time to respond.  I wish I could give you all more of a choice, but as it is, the process of printing and mailing is enormous.  For you $10.00 backers, I hope to start mailing prints in the next week.  Thanks for all your response.  Jon

Just posted another series of photos on my wordpress site.

I have finally worked out how I plan to send out reward photographs.  I will start with the $10.00 level and will post 3 different suitcase shots on my photoshelter site from which people can make a selection.  I will send out the survey (through Kickstarter) sometime this week which will include the link and instructions.  You will then have 2 weeks to respond to me with your choice and mailing instructions.  The process of fulfilling rewards alone is a ton of work, but I am really looking forward to it.   You all are the reason I have been able to spend so much time on the project and as I always say, thank you so very much.  Jon

Hello All,

I have posted a new suitcase on my Wordpress site.  Click here to see it.

February was a very productive month for the project.  Lots of cases done, but lots more to do.  I still hope have the reward photographs shipped out by the end of April, but I have realized that I will continue to shoot well into the summer.  I will post details in the next few weeks about how the process will work.  I plan to give each level of backer a small selection from which to choose.

Best, and thanks for your support.  Every time I shoot, I think about what a wonderful group of backers I have behind me on this project.  Cheers,  jon
