I didn't realize I shrunk from a moose to a mouse.... ;-)

Less likely to be shot at by a VP contender, though...

Quick question, if we decide to shoot colour and get prints done, is that okay to send out? Lab prints not inkjets (except the labs I use aren't optical printers )

Good lord, look at what this site has done to the poor dear lass. Counfounded and confused her. Given her fear ....

No prob Heather, lunatic purists don't really particpate in these things anyway.

I could have just innocently said nothing I just noticed our organiser mentioned he was dragging out his RA-4 stuff for proper "wet" colour (I do hope he dries it before sending it though!) I've done a roll of B&W and a roll of colour so far. Going to take a flash with me, maybe I'll be inspired to terrify people in a mini-Weegee style on the street (or just go to my friends' birthday dinner as planned).
I can't think of anyone who does optical printing anymore if you're sending it out to a lab anyway. It's been that way for years.

Vaughn · Oct 18, 2008

I shot my roll (probably all the the time I have to photograph today)...a few images of one of my boys playing goalie (soccer -- but I will not foist any of those images on anyone!), then I wandered around the local community college while two of my boys had a basketball camp there. So I'll develop tomorrow night and see what I get!

Hey guys. I never stated that I was in the print exchange.
I just suggested a format. I would love to be in the exchange, but I have a ton of 35mm work that I need to dev, contact, and print, so I can't do it.

Oops guys forget the above. I'll be in the print exchange! How are we gonna do this? Do we PM our addresses to one person or something? I'll probably contact print 1 or 2 negs onto a 4x5 and mail it as a postcard.

semeuse · Oct 19, 2008

ready to go! who's collecting the addresses?

Markok765 · Oct 19, 2008

Art, can you do it?

thefizz is organised the exchange. It helps if you read the whole thread... or even just the person's name who posted the list in the first place.

Sign up deadline is Wednesday 22nd. This will give some more people the opportunity to sign up if they dont see this thread till a few days after WTCD but who may have been out shooting with their camera on the 18th.

Participants to pm me their real name and postal address and Ill send back the details of who you will send your prints to. Similar to the blind exchange but with two prints to send. You can send different prints to your two recipients.

Obviously you must use a toy camera and make traditional prints.

Send your two prints by the end of November.

As this is an international forum, you could end up sending your prints anywhere.

We later confirmed that you can do B&W or colour (any process basically) and print any size you want. I have received just two pm's so far with postal addresses.

Kids these days, eh?

msdemanche · Oct 20, 2008

quick reply to let everyone know I sent my postal address by private message to the thefizz.

Markok765 · Oct 20, 2008

Same here. I'm printing right now! I'm doing 2 contacts of some night shots of Kitchener.

Markok765 · Oct 20, 2008

So I was only supposed to print two prints?

Vaughn · Oct 20, 2008

Man...do I like what I got. Nothing like my 8x10 negatives...which is the whole point. Now to make the time to print them properly!

I suggested we send a print to two people so as not to put too much pressure on people to get prints done and also with the expense of postage etc., but if anyone wants to send more, pm me and I'll match you up with someone else doing the same amount.

I have pm's from from everyone except two on the latest list of eleven members taking part.

Peter

thefizz · Oct 22, 2008

I have everyone's details but just waiting for rorye to pm me with his.

Am I too late to join in? had a good day last saturday and would like to share the love

thefizz · Oct 22, 2008

No problem Leon, you are in now.

thefizz · Oct 22, 2008

I have pm'd everyone now to let them know where to send their prints. Remember you can send one or more prints to each person and they can be any size and B&W or colour.

Please post on the thread when you send or receive prints so I can keep track.

Have fun and please send by the end of November at the latest.

Peter

Markok765 · Oct 22, 2008

I'll be sending 2 photos contact printed in an envelope. I'll probably send them today or tomorrow.
