2007 Print Exchange Call For Entries

[gari beet]

I am really keen, but the last exchange I took part in (another forum, yeh sorry) I didn't get a large number of the prints. The postal system was in a mess here at the time but the dissapointment of not seeing some of the work still smarts.

What the hey, room for 1 more?

Hey! It's nice to see someone else organize a print exchange for once...although I'll certainly miss perusing all the fine images...
I'd like to join in.

25 so far, but I am hoping for more!

The print specs are as posted in the first post -- wet or digital. It is nice to get both if you have never seen either. The cut-off date for signing-up is Monday, January 21, 2008. I will post the final participant list on Tuesday, January 22.

What would be a reasonable amount of time for printing? Please post your feedback so we can come to an average amount of time that most participants would need. I think 2-3 weeks from the final list posting would be fair, but please let us know.

I am experiencing network problems and hopefully it will be cleared up within 48 hours, so please bear with me. I can receive e-mail but cannot always get on the web. If you need to contact me and my PM stuff is not being picked-up, go through my web site and send a message. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I would suggest a little longer time allowance for printing. More three-four then two-three weeks. For instance, I can only print on weekends and it might be hard for me get everything done in two weekends.
Also, it might be nice if we attach some notes to the images. Technical info or where/when the image was made. I am not sure but it seems to me a nice idea - what do you think?
regards,
Jan

I think the deadline should be March 1st.

[Ole Tjugen]

Since I tend to have to go away for anything up to three weeks at very short notice, I hope for more than four weeks to print. That woul at least give me a chance to make wet prints, otherwise it will have to be inkjets.

Hi Darr

Please put my name on the list, I also would like to participate in this exchange.

In the previous exchanges we had short description notes included with the photographs. I believe March 1st or 10th will give everyone plenty of time to get prints ready and mailed to you.

i am in.

i too would request 5-6 weeks of working time for printing. also, the last print exchange i was in we mailed our prints to out group members ourselves. this may save some time for the OP.

thanks

Will we be broken down into groups or do we need to make 25 to 30 prints. I'll need about four weeks if it is the latter, as I too can only print on weekends. My washer only holds 6 prints at a time, and I want these to get the full treatment.

Are we sending unmounted prints?

[darr]

• We will be broken down into smaller groups
• Prints are NOT to be mounted
• Enclosing an info sheet about the print would be nice, but not a requirement
• Last day to sign-on as a participant is Monday, January 21, 2008

Would March 1st be a good date to have your prints ready to ship to Florida, USA?

Eddie and Marc C your names have been added to the list making it to 27 now.
