Shiprock at dawn with moonset.

Yes Scott I am ok with your judgement and match.

[h2oman]

Me too. Seems like it might be best as a new thread.

[jackies]

That is fine with me.

I could certainly do it again once everyone has their folios.
Last time I did it everyone that had a digital copy of their print sent me the file.
For those that do not scan their negs and were not able to scan their own print I scanned the one out of the folio I received (with their permission of course).
My scanner is not great but I think I got the couple that I scanned to look pretty darn close to the original (at least on my screen).
I sent a proof of the file I scanned to the image owner for approval before using it and would do so again.
One thing I think I would change though is the text. Last time I put all the details about the images at the end of the picture section just like in the folio.
It did make it a bit hard to associate the print to the description so I think this time I would put print and text together, similar to what is usually done in the image sharing section.
The nice thing about one person putting it together is that the images will all be put into sequence as Jim determined they should be, and they will all be uploaded at the same size and on the same day.

As long as everyone is ok with it I will do this again, let me know.

Scott,

Scott,

This all sound great to me. I can send my files for this. Just got back into town. Has everyone received their folio? Hopefully all folios should be in the hands of those in the US. Don't know how long the the two to Canada and the one to Brazil will take. Thanks. Jim

[Scott Walker]

My folio has arrived!
This is really impressive, great work everyone, and thank you Jim for your continued excellence with this project.
I can't wait for next years exchange.
I really like the idea of determining what next years subject will be long in advance, it would be a great reason to start planning a trip somewhere.

[Jim Becia]

A couple of things. First, I will come up with a subject sooner rather than later. Just trying to narrow the list down. Secondly, as most of you know, one of the participants backed out and I put in an extra print, because every else had printed 18. As a result, I (of course) have two folios. What do you think if I offer it for sale to someone here on the LF board for $100. Don't know if anyone would be interested, but the monies would help defray some of my extra costs. And I would offer it first to any of you who participated. Not trying to make any money, but thought it might also appeal to someone who wants to see what the exchange looks like. I know for a fact that our prints are certainly worth more than that. (Let me know what you think.) I am still waiting on payments from 5 participants. I would appreciate payment as soon as possible. If for some reason, you did not receive my PM with the total, please let me know and I will get it out to you again. Thanks. Jim

I don't have a problem with you selling it Jim.
At $100.00 someone will be getting one hell of a deal @ $5.50 a print.

[djhopscotch]

I'm fine with you selling the folio, now i can tell people that my prints have sold.

[biedron]

Selling the extra set would be fine with me.
