To sign up for the 2015 negative exchange, please post here with:
Your Name
General Geographic Location
Preferred film format (35mm, 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9, 4x5, 5x7, 8x10, any)
Preferred medium (silver gelatin, Pt/Pd, Cyanotype, etc).
Groups will be matched based on film format first and foremost. Geographic diversity will be considered so that nobody gets stuck with having to mail all their negatives and prints to far-flung foreign lands at outrageous shipping rates. Printing medium will be a lesser factor - if there are enough folks who want to do contact-printed alt process prints, we can do a special edition for them.
For Example:
Scott Davis (TheFlyingCamera)
Washington DC, USA
35mm, 6x6, 4x5
Silver Gelatin
Other rules:
for now, this is limited to b/w printing only, because not everyone is set up to print color, and in some ways color is less open to interpretation.
when you make your prints, please make notes on an insert to send along with the print exactly what you did to make the print you ship. Include details such as cropping, burning/dodging, toning, what paper and what developer, and any manipulations you may have performed to the print and/or the negative.
limit paper size to 8x10. Anything else you want to do is fair game - you want to make a 1:1 reproduction of a 35mm negative for the print? go ahead! crop to a square from a rectangle? great! crop to a rectangle from a square? fun! Print full frame with a filed-out carrier? run with it!
