Hello, my name is Art and I'm a print exchange deadbeat

[gr82bart]

Hi folks,

OK, I have been traveling, working, helping my parents, and buying property in SE Asia for my retirement as a beach bum at 40. No excuses. Yes, my postcards have been sitting by the door now for 3 months or more, my Kodachromes are ready to packaged and sent out and yes, I remember the Polaroids I still owe from a YEAR ago.

I'm back for a week this week - so besides my taxes which I still have to do, I will remember to send out what I have. I know, you've all heard that before. Plus I have 100 or so PMs I have to read - must be angry recipients ... I understand.

My sincere apologies everyone.

Regards, Art.

Glad to hear you are OK and it's just life that got in your way. Looking forward to seeing your postcard.

And you have prints from the Collectors' Show to pick up from the VPC!!!!!

...

Good to hear that you are OK and didn't fall off the edge of the earth.

Art, I actually thought that you may have been a victim of the monetary problem which seems to have gone through virtually every country.

Extremely glad that you are still hanging in there!

I have a feeling I may be delinquent on the same Polaroid exchange as you - in fact, we could even owe each other a Polaroid; it's been so long I can't remember!

I made my first print in the new darkroom last weekend, so the hiatus caused by my house move may have finally drawn to a close. I just need to try and remember who I owe what to now...

No worries Art! We still love ya..... and I know you're just a little late but you will come through!

[Sirius Glass]

I have no problem with Art, but the deadbeats are the reason why I no longer do any photo exchange.

OK, OK, deadbeat update here ... I have now printed, matted and packaged all the prints (and postcards that have been lying about for months) to send out. Let's see to make sure I have everything covered:

• Postcard Exchange #15 - 50 something postcards; I didn't count.
• Alternative Print Exchange #8 - Phil, Cara, and Jeff
• Group Print Exchange #11 - Randy and Matt (Gene's already got my print)
• Toy Camera Print Exchange #3(?) - Vaughn and Fintan
• Fine Art Print Exchange #1 - Thomas
• Kodachrome Slide Exchange - Stan, Chris and Michael (though I haven't received a single slide)
• Ode to Polaroid Exchange - David, Keeds, Peter, Suzanne, Black Dog, Fintan; kraker, rkmiec, MartinB, dianna, JLMoore3rd

Did I miss anyone? I don't think so, but if I did, please advise. Deeply and sincerely sorry to all for the EXTREME tardiness on my part.

Regards, Art.

No worries!

By my count, there are 72+ people who are going to be very happy (assuming no overlaps) .
