2011/2012 LF Print Exchange Vote

[cdholden]

I will make it this year, but can we have smaller groups, 10 is doable but a lot of work. 5 to a group makes it a lot more paractical for alt process, maybe we could have a carbon group, I really would like to see some carbon prints other than mine (reading some of the maybe names). I will start printing within the next few weeks so it dosent sneak up.

I'm waiting for chemicals to try my hand at the process. Hopefully, I can move it along to put out some decent prints in time. If not, there's always SG (silver gelatin, not Suicide Girls!)

Count me in.

I'd love to be in it again - the prints from last year were extraordinary!

Marc!

Hi Darr,

Funny how things work out.....
I was printing in my darkroom for the first time in quite a while, about two weeks ago, and had to remove prints from the drying screens prior to loading up new prints. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I had made 11 final prints of the same negative. I normally make 3-5 prints of a negative. Now that I see this thread it reminds me that I never shipped out the prints last year, so I guess I'm 90% of the way done with the prints for the 2012 print exchange. All I need to do is tone 'em and ship 'em.

So.........count me in!

Count me in! Last year I missed it and didn't have the darkroom going again yet. I said I'd have ten prints ready to go this year. Well I don't have that but I DO have the darkroom ready to go, so I'm in!

Oh and the art loving girlfriend who motivated me to get back into photography that I mentioned last year is now my fiance. Wedding date is the same as the print ship deadline, March 31st.

One question - it says they can't be the same as used in any other print exchange. I assume that means ANY other print exchange and not just one done here on the LFPF? I've been participating in the one over on FADU and so far sent three prints, two of which were done with a view camera and thus otherwise eligible.

It shouldn't be a problem doing some from a "new to any print exchange" negative but those could be knocked out easily from printing notes, should I get too close to the deadline.

I'm in, and getting to the post office whenever convenient is fine with me. We're fortunate that you're willing to put yourself through this at all, let alone march to a schedule!

Don't see any conflict there

Me either. I'll have the prints done well before the wedding and honeymoon.

Or if by some obstacle I don't, I have the perfect excuse.

J/K, don't anticipate any problem getting them done on time.

[Roger Cole]

Oh yeah, and no problem on twice a week or whatever works. The format of this exchange lends itself to a slower pace and a nice big packet o' prints. Even once a month would probably be fine.

[Scott Walker]

Darr, I have to agree with Roger and pretty much everyone else that has spoken up so far.
Not a problem at all if you can only get to this once or twice a week.
