2008/2009 Print Exchange Call for Entries !!!

[darr]

I don't see where you specify a submission date, nor how many prints each photographer is to produce. Are they to be all the same image? Can one join multiple groups by submitting two complete sets of images (say 15 of each image times the number of groups)? Are these finished fine art archival fiber based prints, just unmatted? Do we wait until the groups are established before knowing the size ofthe group? Sorry for all the questions, I'm new here, and didn't see these Qs answered by reading last years rules. Regardless of the answers I really want to be involved and send the best prints possible.

Sorry, but the list is closed. You can sign up as an alternate if you like. Please PM me if interested.

Best,
Darr

OK, I have another "not stupid" question. Can someone recommend a good way to attach the "Print Info" sheet to the back of the print. I can't think of anything that won't do harm. Maybe Artists Tape?

Thanks
Chuck

That's the stupidest question I've ever heard!!!! Just kidding, Chuck!

It's some added expense, but I like putting each individual print in a glassine envelope with the print info enclosed along with it. No physical attachment necessary, and each print has an added layer of protection.

Also keeps Darr's paws off my fine wares..... LOL Still kidding, Darr.....thanks so much for organizing this!

Cheers!

As I mentioned a few pages earlier, clear plastic sleeves from your local art supply store works well. 11x14 sleeves costs pennies. Just slip print and info inside and Bob's your uncle.

Thanks everyone.

The plastic bags sound like the best idea. Fortunately or unfortunately, I have already sent my prints with info attached with small bits of "artists tape". Hopefully the back won't tear when it's removed.

I hope that the staple suggestion was a joke. I wasn't sure. Even though they may not damage that print, there's no telling what could happen to the others in the package.

No, of course the staples were a joke. I actually used nice smooth brass grommets.

Hey Darr,

I finished my prints and I'm really happy with them. And there's a bonus print for you! Thanks for taking this up once again.

Did you use 1" or 2" grommets? The brass ones would go nicely with my kallitypes...

[nathanm]

I had to make custom sized grommets for each one since they had to line up with different circular-shaped pebbles in the foreground of the photo. They are between 1 and 1.5cm in diameter.
