Reading back through the thread it seems that several missed the 'rules' or guidelines for the exchange, as did I...I joined in the thread late.
Here's the way I'm understanding the print exchange works:
1. Prints of certain photographic types will be accepted (criteria determined by the organizers). Smaller print sizes are encouraged as to reduce the amount of money spent on postage (???). Are prints to be matted?
2. Each participant will print one print for each of the members in his/her group. Participants will be broken up into smaller 4-5 person groups so that the amount of prints to be made and exchanged with others does not get to be a burden.
3. Participants will be divided into common printing techniques so that they can examine and compare their printing results to others working in the same materials (clarify if I'm wrong here...).
4. Participants have until mid-November to commit to entering, and mid-December to print and ship their prints to the recipients.
5. Participants who commit and then bail out will recieve a public flogging on apug.org
Am I understanding the 'rules' so far? I'm still in if this is how it is proposed.
I am also doing digital negatives for contact printing my Kallitypes. I would be interested in seeing not only Kallitypes from other printers, but specifically prints of any genre made from digital negatives.
Thanks, |
