Hello Jay, Mark, Jaime, Mike, and Chauncey,
I apologize for such a late thank you to you all for your prints.
They all please me and teach me about seeing and printing. And I'm framing all of them to put up as a group.
Jay's print subtly evokes the places we shot overall for us having been there. And by boldly not shooting one of the churches.
Chauncey and Jaime's abstracts see what I was also trying to see. But the feeling conveyed by each image is so different, driven by the interpretation through printing. A good lesson there.
Mark's is brilliantly seen, captured and printed.
And I shot the same thing as Mike but only the top 1/3 of it, emphasizing the ladder. Mike's image works much, much better. Another good lesson. And what a beautiful print, I'd been curious about Lodima and this contact print is really inspiring.
I wish you would sign your prints! They are truly worth that.
It has been a great year so far but also very hard in a lot of ways. Losing Per was difficult and I just lost another good photographer friend. Let's all keep shooting and printing and finding ways to get together for more fun again.
And thanks to Jay for making the print exchange happen.
All the best,
Harlan
