Hope you enjoy them! I'm heading out of town for 6 weeks so I'll have to wait to see yours

Ahhh. But Alex ( ) isn't sending you prints. Wonder who it might be . . .

Well, not really. I have the list.

So, rst, Keith Pitman, Black Dog and photobum are done. A total of 17 from 28 have sent or said so to me. And received are 6 of 28. For received I suspect there are more.

Another one done, I just got a wonderful selenium toned Ektalure print "Summer Light, Boveridge" from BlackDog, thanks! Such a subtle tonal range captured in the foreground drapery and tablecloths, masterfully done.

I received a very nice print in the mail today, from all the way across the pond. Thanks Paul.

[Christopher Walrath]

being a virgin to the bpx, i waited to see what i received and have been shooting and printing and playing...

well today i rec'd a wonderful print from jim rhoades, "mystic seaport" - i've been sitting and enjoying it - christmas in april!

well i make my decision this weekend, if what i've printed is up to jim's high standard i'm done. if not, i'll be printing this weekend.

either way it's be in the mail to my recipient on monday, whom i hope enjoys my print as much!

thanx for doing this chris.

[JNaetke]

Hey,
just an update, since I've been too busy and far away to post anything.
The print is done and fully toned - just needs to be matted and then I can give it to the mail.
I'm debating whether or not to include a second print though...

Thank you for the kind words. I really enjoy sending out platinum prints in this exchange. They are so different it's bound to be a suprise. Of course reactions differ. One person started to print Pd/Pt and another wondered why I photograph junk. You can't please all the people all the time.

That's the third or fourth Mystic Seaport I've sent out. Call it a collectable, I'm ending that run. On to another subject.
