Some guidance please. I photograph the landscape and the human figure. In the last couple of years I have met many models on the web and have found myself shooting more than I can possibly print. I have tried to cut down on the number of models (currently about 10) but find it hard to say no when they call. Any advice? Craig

BTW, I did peruse your site and you are "the man". ;)

No problem, you can try a "mise en scene", that can be absolutely original. Think a subject like, women panoplie, women to love or the fruit of discord... etc and bring all of them together on the same stage.
Camera will do the rest.

Eddie gave me an idea. I will be doing a shoot in a couple of weeks and I can make duplicate negatives at that shoot. I am leaning to using the 8x10 format. So here's a proposition - are any of you interested in a form of a print exchange by printing one of my negatives from that shoot and making enough prints for say 5-6 people. I really would be interested in seeing how others might interpret my work. If I can figure how to add some pictures to this I can show you the location. Thanks Craig
cool! i am in! sounds like a great idea.

Make a contact print.
True enough, not as sweet as a nice 11x14 but very workable, thanks.

A breakfast of scrambled eggs, beans, garlic and kimchi should fix that "problem" in no time! :D

When we get 5 commited people I'll send out details. I will take care of things like mailing lables etc. Digital prints are fine. I don't use the media but I like it.
This is actually an o0ld idea from when I was president of the Racine Camera Club in th emid "70s. It was a great learning experience.
Sorry about the 5x7 - I've used the format but prefer 8x10.
Here's the location and model Craig

I am willing to go with contact printing. Sounds like an interesting challenge printing someone else's vision.

I have confirmed the shoot this weekend and see that there are several people interested. I'll post a few digi snaps after teh shoot and we can decide to go forward on this. Craig

I'd be interested. Please include me if you haven't filled up yet, and if the negative is B&W. My darkroom isn't set up for color.
