2012 - 2013 Print Exchange

First off I would like to wholeheartedly thank Darr Almeda for the amazing job she has done facilitating this print exchange in the past. I will do my best to try and make this one just about as good, a difficult task, I know.

To those of you that are new to this, a print exchange is an incredible opportunity to start a collection of artwork from some photographers that you may already have a great deal of respect for, and others that you may have never even heard of, but will likely surprise and inspire you just the same.

So on with the rules, please read them carefully, and if you are unclear on anything ask here so everyone can see & share the answer.....Hopefully I will have the answer

If you are going to participate, post your name here and I will respond with acknowledgment and add you to the list and we EXPECT you to participate. If something comes up and you need to withdrawal, please notify me so I do not waste time trying to contact you. I will respond to questions as soon as I can and will check into this forum at least twice during the day looking for messages.



The Image
1. Must be made with a view camera with film or with a digital back.
2. Scanned negative is fine.
3. Must be a 2012 or 2013 creation date.

The Print
1. Must be on either 8x10 or 11x 14 paper (image size does not matter).
2. No mated or mounted prints.
3. Include an information sheet with each print.
4. Traditional wet darkroom is fine.
5. Alternative process of any sort is fine (I would love to see someone send in some tintypes, or maybe some wet plate collodion images of a certain pixie we know and love.
6. Digital output to print is fine.
7. Send 9 prints in total (or 10 if you want to tip your facilitator.

How It All Works
1. You make at least 9 prints of an image that you would like to share.
2. You attach a data sheet with as little or as much information as you would like to share with the recipients of your print to each print (a sample data sheet is attached to this post, please use it).
3. You package those 9 prints and data sheets up and mail them to me.
4. Once I have received 10 packages of prints I let you all know who is in your group and sort, package, and ship the prints to the 10 people in the group.
5. I distribute your 9 prints to the other 9 people in your group and mail you back the 9 prints from the 9 different people in your group.
6. I figure out what actual shipping costs are to get your prints to you and you send me the money via PayPal or whatever seems to work best for you and me and I send the prints.
7. You receive a package in the mail from me with 9 prints from the other 9 people in your group. If you have saved one of your own prints at home, you can add it to your portfolio for a nice even 10 prints to show your friends and family, that way they can tell you that yours is the best of the group, how awesome is that!


Some Of The Crazy Details You Need To Know
1. You will need to send 9 prints to Okotoks, Alberta, Canada.
2. You will need to pay for return shipping by PayPal or cheque or whatever seems to work the best for the both of us.
3. You will need to send along with your prints extra shipping material for the return trip or I will tack on an extra $5.00 for shipping since I will have to buy new stuff for you.
4. If you send your prints in a box that you would like returned with your new prints, please put your name on the box with big letters and let me know that you would like it returned or I will toss it.
5. I will not re use bubble mailers, cardboard mailers, or any outer packaging.
6. Did you know that international bubble wrap appreciation day just recently passed? It was awesome, and I even downloaded the bubble wrap app.
7. Shipping fees will be determined after the prints are ready to be shipped. You will be notified via a PM. In previous exchanges, the packages averaged a 1-lb shipping weight. We do not want to exceed the 1-lb weight as International Shipping Fees are costly! There will be American, European, Australian, etc. mailings. DO NOT MOUNT YOUR PRINTS!
8. If you do not fill out the shipping info sheet I will have no idea who the prints belong to.
9. Once I receive 10 packets of prints I will post the names of the people in that group here in this thread.
10. You do not need to make your real name public here of course, just join in by posting that you would like to be included. I will contact you via PM here within the forum e-mail system. I will of course need your name and mailing address but no one else will see it or have access to it.

How To Ship Your Prints
1. This is what I have done in the past; 11x14 box for photo paper lined on the inside with foam core, put the prints in separated by acid free paper, tape it up and slide it into a bubble mailer. This is overkill and a bit more expensive but pretty darn safe. If you do this I will send your prints back in the same packaging but with a new bubble mailer.
2. This is what most people do, put your prints into a heavy cardboard mailer sandwiched between two acid-free and pH neutral backing boards, add an archival bag that you can safely store the prints in for years to come and you are golden. If you do this I will save the backing boards and archival bag only, I’ll toss your new prints in a new heavy cardboard mailer and send it back to you.
3. Make sure you include an info sheet for each of your prints.
4. Make sure you fill out a return address sheet and include it with your shipment.



Everyone is to ship nine (9) prints to me according to the Print Specs.
If you send 10 prints, I will assume you are sending one for me which is greatly appreciated and one of the reason I am doing this, but you are not obligated to do so.

If you are going to participate, post your name here and I will respond with acknowledgment and add you to the list and we EXPECT you to participate. If something comes up and you need to withdrawal, please notify me so I do not waste time trying to contact you. I will respond to questions as soon as I can and will check into this forum at least twice during the day looking for messages.

So much excitement generated about the print exchanges in the past and we haven't even hit 20 participants yet for this one.
Come on folks, it's not difficult to ship to and from Canada, and it is only going to be a bit more expensive for shipping for those of you in the States than it has been in the past.

Andrew O'Neill
8-Feb-2013, 09:41
I have to agree with Scott. For once you guys can bite the bullet and pay a bit more for shipping. We do it all the time. Put me on the list, Scott.

Count me in, but not for a carbon print this year, much too busy. Opening that envelope to see what people are up to is a lot of fun.

Thanks

I don't think it's the postage - it certainly isn't for me - but maybe the ship date. My first thought was that it was considerably earlier than last year, but when I checked last year's thread, it isn't.

In any case, I'm most likely going to have to sit this one out. The basement is a shambles right now as it gets built out, and using the darkroom would be - a dustier than usual mess. It will get moved to a separate room when that room is done, then moved back to an area with running water once that's done. There's going to be lots of moving stuff around and probably little usage for a while.

I got some awesome prints last year. Highly recommended for anyone who can participate this year!

DanK
8-Feb-2013, 15:45
Scott,

I'd like to do two groups (different prints for each) .... so if it's okay, put me in there twice...

I need something to get me motivated to print !!! :)

Cheers,
Dan

Chuck Pere
8-Feb-2013, 16:46
Sign me up. I've always received some great prints in these exchanges.

Might as well do two groups...hint, hint...;)

Please sign me up again, its one of my yearly highlights.

Robert Ellis
9-Feb-2013, 10:51
Like Roger, the ship date is the determining factor for me. That's my finals week. I'd gladly be in if we could ship a couple weeks after that.

Thanks,

Robert

Roger, sorry to hear you can’t participate this year. If things change you still have time to change your mind.

Dan, not a problem being in on 2 groups, a number of people have done so in the past, myself included. Make sure to get your prints to me early and I will distribute prints to the first group you are in and hold a set for the next group.

Robert, unfortunately I can’t change the dates for an individual but you are welcome to ship way early if that works for you.

Everyone else, thanks for joining up :D

Wow, never seen that before, two people with the same user name on one photography forum. :D And they signed up one right after the other, quite a coincidence.

Want to do this, just need to make sure I have an image and have my act together. I am in the process of setting up my darkroom. Things are still a little primitive, but I actually printed the other night so there's hope. As far as shipping to and from Canada, not an issue.

The room that will be my new interim darkroom until the running water gets done is under construction now, and my friend works very quickly - he got the first room (for my wife's stuff) done in three weeks working alone and has his step son helping now. If its done in time I might still jump in but have to hold off for now.

With such a small group I would be very happy to print 32 or more copies, so I got one of every bodies print... Like we used to do years ago... Just a suggestion... It just seems like a small group this year...

Scott Walker
25-Feb-2013, 14:18
It is a bit small this year and as it stands we will have 4 groups of 8 instead of 10 unless more people join in before the end of the month deadline this Thursday at midnight or more realistically Friday morning when I wake up and close the call for entry.

32 prints might be a streatch for a lot of people I think, and that was not the mandate of the exchange when we started it this year.

Ed Bray
25-Feb-2013, 15:29
Just a thought but wouldn't it be better to have 2 groups of 11 and one of 10 or if someone else joins in 3 groups of 11?

Just a thought but wouldn't it be better to have 2 groups of 11 and one of 10 or if someone else joins in 3 groups of 11?

I think that makes more sense Ed, I guess we will see how many are in Friday morning and go from there

Leonard Metcalf
26-Feb-2013, 02:07

I am so pleased this is being organised.. Thanks..

C'mon Roger... the world needs more photos of Tennessee. The photo of Blue Hole Falls you submitted for last year's exchange was so nice I had to go search it out. What a find!
Count me in for this year's exchange. I'm not sure how, as I am currently sans darkroom, but I will make it happen. After all, the world needs more photos of Tennessee. By the way, I've got GPS coordinates recorded somewhere if anyone is interested in finding the subject in Roger's submission last year.

27-Feb-2013, 15:32
Ack! Seems Scott saw my post before I removed it.

Thing is the time frame. Things are pretty busy these couple of months. I'm just concerned with having time to get these printed, as well as finding a negative worthy of this kind of exchange.

It's possible I'd submit a shot from Tennessee if I get back to visit my family in this time frame or if I find a negative I want to include, but note that I live in Georgia now. :-) My wife and I are planning a trip to an old historic area at the beach (Beaufort, SC) during this time so I might get something from there...

Getting the amazing prints I got last year both encourages me this year, in order to get more prints so nice, and discourages me, as I feel I'll never get prints worth of such out in time!

BTW Chris, did you go the Blue Hole? It can vary a lot from impressive to not so impressive, depending on water level, time of year, light, and even how many other people are there (and who they happen to be.)

Roger Cole
1-Mar-2013, 01:59
Technically a little late but you're not up in the morning to close it down yet....

I was wracking my brain wondering if I had an LF negative from the past year that I'd be comfortable using if I don't shoot anything new and acceptable in time. I should have some time to print, just don't know about the shooting and developing. And...what do you know, I thought of a couple of prospects if nothing else pans out.

What the heck. I may regret it when I'm pushing myself to get the prints made in April, but count me in!

So it looks like 1 group of 12 and 2 groups of 11 will do the trick.

Group 1 will be the group of 12 participants, so the first 12 to have their prints shipped will be in this group. If you would like to be in this group you will need to include 11 prints along with 11 information sheets about your print. For this first group, if you would please post here once you have shipped your prints so we can cut it off once we have 12 participants.

Group 2 and group 3 will be on a first received first shipped basis as was done in the past, once I receive 11 packages of prints I will sort and ship the group 2 print packages. For these groups you will need to include 10 prints along with 10 information sheets about your print.

If you include an extra print with your package I will assume it is a tip for your facilitator :) which will be greatly appreciated but certainly not mandatory or expected.

The next deadline is May 1, all prints must be shipped by then.
At some point this weekend I will pm everyone with shipping instructions etc.


Let the fun begin :D

Hi Scott, perhaps I am blind but where is the attached data sheet? Thanks!

Well it looks like with the darkroom chaos as the basement is built out (complicated by the fact my buddy who is doing the work is moving to north GA about two hours away, got a full time job here in ATL, and is renovating the house he's moving to on the weekend...but he will get it all done, it will just take longer) and my expected hectic April schedule, I'm going to be running right up against deadline. But I expected that.

In the good news, I came back from my recent vacation with my wife for our first anniversary having shot a fair amount of film, both LF and MF (and some 35mm slides) and have developed about 1/3 of the sheets. I see already at least one negative I think will make a decent print based on the scan, and the subject, of which I shot quite a few more sheets and a roll of 120, is also one that my wife, a poet and short story author, wrote a poem about, so we're getting interested in doing a collaboration on this. So it looks like things are looking up. :)

Hi Scott

My package was just returned for the wrong address. Could you please PM me again to confirm?

Thanks

I spoke to someone at the post office and apparently there is a conflict between the street address, the box number, and the postal code within my address?
The parcel will arrive in Okotoks because it is sorted by postal code to that point, this is when the problem starts.
No idea why, but there is a problem with the address and it just started, I think they hired someone new and that person can't get past an error coming up when sorting the mail by just puting it out for delivery to either the box number, the street address or the postal code, because it will all end up at the same place, my place.
This is where all my mail goes and there has not been a problem in the past, but like they say....if you make a fool proof system someone will just hire a bigger fool.

Anyway the cure is simple, use the following address, basically delete the street address from the address I gave you and there is no longer a conflict:

Scott Walker
Box 1427 Station Main
Okotoks, Alberta
Canada
T1S 1B4

I've sent quite a few prints to Europe in the FADU print exchange (one print at a time, it's a one on one thing) and they almost always take 10 days to two weeks, which I don't think is so bad to Europe.

Thanks for clarifying as I too was a little confused on this. I thought group 1 was 12 but wasn't sure about later groups.

Sorry for my confusion: I thought who was in group 1 was going to be based on who's first 12 sets of prints that arrive to you? So have those 12 listed there arrived and now you're about to reconcile and send back to everyone in group 1? Or are you still awaiting two more sets to arrive to complete the first group?

Scott Walker
26-Apr-2013, 11:43
I know I am waiting for 1 set to arrive for the first group for sure, it might be 2 but I'm in my city office today so I can't just walk over and count. I have not received any prints for group 2 yet.

Andrew O'Neill
26-Apr-2013, 12:03
Mine are done. So, I need to send 11 in total??

John Rodriguez
26-Apr-2013, 12:29
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
28-Apr-2013, 21:46
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.

Roger Cole
28-Apr-2013, 21:47
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.... ;)

Ed Bray
28-Apr-2013, 22:51
Well I got my printing down - sort of. I made 13 identical prints (11 plus one for Scott and one for me.).

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.

Roger Cole
29-Apr-2013, 06:31
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:


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

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
29-Apr-2013, 08:49
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

Scott Walker
1-May-2013, 06:08
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.

Milton Tierney

Mine went out last Friday via International First Class. There were a bewildering variety of options and costs. I'd think that would get them there within a week, though, which would mean by tomorrow.

Got home today and a package awaited me, the prints from Group 1. Wow, what great images and such a variety of subjects. Contact print, wet darkroom and scan and inkjet prints and each of them simply wonderful.

Scott; are you PM us with the cost and payment method for shipping? Canada Post delivered them without even a dent or mark on the packaging and on the first day after you mailed them. Thanks for doing this for us this year.

There is absolutely no reasoning behind the postal system and delivery times.
I was told it would be 3 weeks to OZ, 1 week to the States, and 3 days within Canada.
Yours show up in a week and only 1 package has arrived in the US and 1 in Canada :confused:

Humm, a week to the states, should make it in a week FROM the states. I'm getting worried about mine getting to you (two weeks tomorrow, that is Friday) but I haven't received them back and I can't believe even the USPS would lose a package that large. I put them in an 11x14 paper box and put that in a padded mailer so it was neither small nor light.

My package of prints from group 1 was delivered this morning. All I can say is Wow! Some absolutely outstanding images, some of which will definitely grace my walls.

The packaging was really good and all the prints survived the Atlantic crossing with no detrimental effects. I am only disappointed that I didn't offer to be in more of the groups, these have given me such a lift this morning and it would have been lovely to have had the promise of 'more to come'. Still, there is always next year, and I have the postcard exchange on APUG to look forward to in the meantime.

Many thanks Scott for arranging all this and don't be too long in contacting me for your expenses.

29-May-2013, 19:09
Dear all,
With everything going on around here, I've still not been able to get the combination of time and space to do my printing. I hate to bow out this late in the game, but I don't want to hold up the show. Please accept my apology and count me out at this point. So as not to be a disappointment to those in my group, send me a PM if you would like me to contact you at a later date. For those of you in my group, I will be happy to send you a print (probably Fall with my best guess as of today) and I ask for nothing in return.
With so many things around me changing right now, expect to see a lot of my LF related gear go up for sale between here, APUG and Ebay in the coming weeks. I'll keep a minimal set, but most will be on the block.
Have fun with the photo exchange.

Regards,
Chris

So far I have heard from 3 of the 11 I don't have prints from and they will be shipping right away.
I Think I will wait until Monday to see who else responds to the pm I sent out and decide then if more are needed.

So this is where we stand.....
I have prints from 9 people so far for group 2 and from 1 person for group 3 and there are prints on their way from 5 more people which would give us a group of 10 and a group of 5 which of course is unacceptable.

If anyone would like to join in we could really use another 5 participants.
I know a couple people have expressed interest in participating in another group so here is your chance. If anyone is interested I do ask that you have prints ready to ship by early next week so we can get this wrapped up.

I am going to look through my stock of images tonight and see if I have 10 prints ready to go, I just might.

I'm just too darn busy otherwise I'd send more prints. Scott, how about putting mdm and the others with prints on their way in the same group?

I'm in the same position, working 100+ hours a week plus I live on a farm = no spare time at the moment.

I do think I could come up with a collection of 10 prints from 2012, although they may not all be of the same image (something a number of people have done in the print exchanges) and some may be artists proofs, aka my portfolio copy which I can replenish when time is my friend once again (hopefully in the fall).

Very true David; I'm certainly not losing any sleep over other peoples inability to fulfill a commitment.

I am just trying to ensure that everyone that put the effort into this by sending in their images are rewarded with a full set of prints from others participants.

Looking forward to see it, Ed! (though it seems a bit strange to think that they will be heading over the great fishing pond just to change mail bags and return back...)

Sorry, My prints have been done since April but I've been in the middle of an unscheduled moved. I will get them in the mail pronto.

I will be away until the 1st August, If you need some postage it will have to wait until I return. No phones, internet, electricity where I am going. I am in no rush anyway, it can wait.

Scott, your PM box is full. Just checking to see if my prints arrived safely. USPS made me switch packaging and ditch my box when I dropped them off (I hate USPS).
