Darr and Group 4, I received the prints today. WAHOO! This is good work. Can't wait for next year! Thank you very much Darr for doing this once again.

Isn't glassine non-archival? Or do they make archival ones these days?

Kirk,

I would only use them for mailing prints in future print exchanges. The letter size envelopes provide more protection than nothing.

ps: Great print of a subject that I hope to visit some day. Thanks!

Wayne,

I supplied the glassines. I have a box of 500 for my other business and used a few for the exchange. I purchase them from APEC (American Printing & Envelope Co.). Here is a link for the envelope you are looking for.

Best,
Darr

Thanks! You are the best!

Thanks! You are the best!

You are welcome. They look a little different than the stock I have now. My envelopes are open side, but those on their site now look open top. Try calling them at: 800-221-9403 to be certain. My box has their label on it and it reads:

G. Glassine
8-15/16 x 11-1/2
#121

Happy shopping!
Darr

My group 6 prints arrived today. I am humbled and inspired.

Thanks to Jim Galli for stepping in at the last minute. And a BIG thanks to Darr for all her work. Check my math. Darr did you really handle 540 prints and 118 mailings (59 in 59 out)? Obviously you find it worthwhile, but that does not diminish my appreciation.

I hope everyone finds some value in the prints I did and that I will be invited to participate again.

Thanks to all

Hey Chuck,
I certainly do find value in your prints and you will always be invited into an exchange I facilitate. And your math is about correct, as I have probably handled closer to 600 prints (60 participants x 10 prints each). It is not difficult if you are organized (they start by being deposited in bins marked for each group) and stay on top of it. I have a log in/log out sheet, plus the sheets the participants send with their packets follow the participants packages the entire time. More importantly, I have a wonderful kitchen table that allows me to sort out 10 packets at a time. I have been involved with the selling and cataloging of art/lithographic (non photographic) prints for a couple of decades in my business, so I have some experience with handling, storing, sorting this kind of paper. My biggest problem however is, stopping and gazing too much. But, this is why I do it as I get to hold them and there is nothing like holding an original in your hands.

Jim Galli really saved the day for another group too. He sent some extra prints and between him and I, we were able to make up for Group Five's missing participant's prints. Thank you Jim!

Kind regards,
Darr

Wow, I have received my group 2 prints in Sweden and they look great!

Thank you again Darr for putting so much energy into organizing and packaging all the contributions so 'professionally'.

Kind regards, Patrik

Glad your prints are in Sweden Patrik! Thank you for your kind words. I am motivated by photographers like yourself. Hope we'll see each other again next year!
