The Cards

So way back before I started these journeys I decided to get business cards printed to help send people to this blog and hopefully spread the word about my adventures. Well, I got A LOT of them printed so decided to start leaving them places. Community bulletin boards, gas stations, public washrooms, little semi hidden nooks and crannies wherever I may be or simply be passing through. I always try to not leave them anywhere where they will become litter as that’s unacceptable but hopefully where someone is curious enough to take it home, or check out my site on their phone etc.

These are some of the responses I’ve gotten over the years from people who have found them, if you too have found one and want to let me know, just fill out the little form below which goes straight to me.

Wayne – Found your card while visiting Fort Steele this weekend. I was intrigued … I spent 4 weeks on the road through much of the Western US during a solo roadtrip much like yours. 48 rolls of 35mm film later – I returned home. The road is an amazing place to be and a great way to get your head screwed on straight. If you’d like to share a coffee and talk about your plans for some of the US, let me know. I’d be happy to share what I experienced!

Good Evening, Today (May 1, 2010) We were out for a drive in the Saint John/ St. Martins, New Brunswick area. When we stopped at the Tynemouth Creek Covered Bridge and found your card. We left the card placed in the beam of the bridge (Where we found it) for the next visitors to find. The trip you are (Were) doing sounds like a lot of fun and a great idea.

Hi Wayne, I found your card at the Starbucks in Calgary a couple of days ago. 🙂 Beautiful photos!

Found your card along HWY 69 South, at an outside reststop along Recollet Falls, French River, Ontario. I was leaving Sudbury on my way to Toronto and had always wanted to pull over there, as they’ve put up a new walking bridge. I took the snowy trail looking for the bridge but ended up walking almost 3km through the snow to the falls. I had my Canon Rebel XT in hand and was incredibly elated upon discovering the beautiful moving waters. I stayed for almost an hour. Once heading back to the car, I decided to relieve myself in one of the four outdoor washrooms. As I said, I found your card lodged in the wall of the outdoor toilet. You’ve captured some amazing photos! Safe and happy travels home you brave and inspiring soul!!! Peace and Love. Mackenzie

Wayne – my wife caught your card at a Tim Hortons in Stettler Alberta. We were on the back back to Edmonton from a quick road trip to Drumheller. Camera in hand and on the road is a hell of a way to spend some time. Hope I can do the same one day – but the two kids will likely say no for the next few years. Some great stuff in your galleries. Keep on truckin man — no time like the present!

Hey! I found your card yesterday in Meadow Lake, Sk. at the Extra Foods gas bar! Being a photographer (although only a novice one, nothing campared to you!) myself I wished I had my camera with me so I could take a picture of your card hanging out on top of the gas pump, I took one with my cell phone instead 🙂 I love and admire what you are doing! There is so many amazing people and places to catch through photography. Enjoy the journey Wayne!

Wayne, I found your card in a Tim Horton’s in Perth Andover, New Brunswick. You are doing such an enormous and creative thing! You’re photographs are absolutely gorgeous.

Hi Wayne! I don’t have a card, but your sister told me to check out your website. I can see why she’s very proud of you. Your pictures are amazing!

Found your card today in Gander and just thought that i’d drop a note to say what a great idea you have here. Also a few good places to check out here on the rock are Frederickton (there is an old, rusted ship in the harbour), Lumsden beaches, just to name a few.

also an employee of java moose! unfortunately I missed your visit, and found the card on the bulletin board today and leah told me you were there the day before. 🙂 happy travels!

Hey! It’s the girl from Java Moose!! Very loverly pictures! you are an awesome photographer for sure. It was nice chatting with you! L

Hey Wayne! It was a pleasure to meet you on Sunday (Nov 15th) in Rosseau by the Rosseau River. I have had a quick look at the pictures you have up so far and they are amazing! Looking forward to seeing more 🙂 I also checked out your photography website…stunning! Liane Toronto

Today is Nov.10/09, and I found your card in the Atherley Laundry& Dry Cleaners, which is in Orillia,Ont. Just wanted to say how grand this journey must be for you… Enjoy yourself!!! Your pictures are wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

I found ur card in a covered bridge near St. Martins NB I was wondering why there was no pictures posted of the 3 bridges in that area. Did you know that this is the only place in Canada and maybe North America that you can get 2 covered bridges in 1 photo. Thank you for the great pictures you have posted.

Wayne, I was on a little roadtrip myself this last week. Me and my husband drove from Abbtosford to Edmonton. We stopped off in Calgary at a Starbucks, where I found your business card. I picked it up with interest! (Hey! He’s from Vancouver, and he’s on a photography roadtrip – i’ve always wanted to do that….) Anyway, we just got back several days ago, and I finally checked out your site today (I just came across your business card again), only to find that you finished your trip! We would have been in the Calgary area the same time you were there. I am a photographer myself, and I really enjoyed looking through your pictures. Well done! Will there be another trip like this in the future?

Stumbled on your blog from an e-newspaper/google alert and I’m glad I did. I am in love with your photos and look forward to watching your journey back west. Safe trip. Regards, from Port Moody

Hello Wayne, Just a message from the gent (Ton) from the Wreck Cove General Store. Like your picture, hope the ones from Cape Breton. Next time in coffee’s on me. Good luck. Ton

You found a card!?

I’d love to hear from you and know where and when you found it. I’m happy you’re here, please look around and have fun.

Much Love,
Wayne & Rollins.
