 I am a mail carrier & was rackin my brain while out on my route one day. In the beginning.......... this is what I came up with.
Cut the back off of an old mail box to get the view from the inside. Pretty simple but I really like the way it came out.

Clever idea. I would have liked a bit more sharpness on the sides of the box. Good picture.

I like the creative approach to the challenge. Pretty good lighting considering you were inside of a mailbox! LOL

Great idea - and set up, by the look of it.Personally, i might have gone for a more simple and bold set-up for the address on the envelope (eg black printface). But like this.

Very cute, creative intrepretation of the challenge, fits well IMO. Great perspective. I like your dof, having the person slightly blurred in the background, it tells the story, but puts the attention where it needs to be. Nicely done.

Clever shot and view. Not sure I'd have my address posted, but maybe it's not real.{also I worry too much} Love the idea here.

I like this one for sure. I have always enjoyed these things in movies and music videos where they track things from the beginning. Why not do that with stills? I am getting carried away on your idea now.
Well done.

"In the beginning I posted a photo on the internet that contained my home address. Then weirdos began showing up at my house and asking me whether the postage rate was still 37 cents."

I wonder how much mail she is going to get from this post. :) The photo is awesome. I cannot think of anything that you could have done better. Very very nice.
