[b]2012 - 2013 print exchange call for entry[/b]

[John Rodriguez]

I take it if we're not in group 1 we're in group 2? 10 or 11 prints for group 2?

[Scott Walker]

Mine are done. So, I need to send 11 in total??

Correct

[Roger Cole]

Well I got my printing down - sort of. I made 13 identical prints (11 plus one for Scott and one for me.) They soaked long enough that they'll be ok until I can wash and tone them. I still need to wash and tone (and wash.) It seems very unlikely I'll make the precise deadline but shouldn't be too far behind. Based on what I'm reading here I don't think I'm going to be the only one? I'll do my best, but things are hectic this week. Hopefully I can wash and tone tomorrow and Tuesday.

Remind me to never again make 13 prints on 11x14 paper in one night. I don't have anywhere to put them. They're laying out all over the damned place. I only have drying screens for six, so I'll have to do the 12 I'm sending out in two batches when I DO wash and tone (and dry.) Then it would be nice to leave them in a stack in the press for a while to flatten. I know from bitter experience that this paper tends to stick to blotters if you use heat - it has to be flattened cold, at least with my press which has a busted thermostat and has two settings, off and full blast.

Last year I said I wouldn't enter next year unless I had the prints made by the time the contest opened. I didn't, but I entered anyway. And again I say that next year I won't enter unless....

Now the bad news, in a group of 11 you only needed to do 12 prints, one for you, one for Scott and 10 for the other members in your group.

I thought the group was 12? Andrew asked:

To which Scott replied:

Correct

So I thought this did NOT include one for Scott, as that one, I thought, is optional.

It doesn't matter though. If I was going to make 12 making 13 isn't that much different. So I have an extra.

[Andrew O'Neill]

I think the problem is that since we weren't broken into actual groups has led to some confusion... but then again, it isn't easy to confuse me.

[MIke Sherck]

Last year I was in the first group and I decided that this year I'd hold off and see what the next group could do. My prints will be there soon!

Well I put 12 in the mail, I hope that covers any eventuality.

[Scott Walker]

May 1 has arrived, everyones prints should be on their way to me by now.
As it has been pointed out, my math skills suck.
For those that have included too many prints, my appologies, I will return them along with your print package once the groups fill up.
Groups 2 and 3 should include 11 participants so you need to send 10 prints plus 1 for me if you so desire.
