Alt & Lith Print Exchange #3 (ALPX-3) - Status and Updates

[RauschenOderKorn]

Dear photographers,

The magic has been done, and the assignments are out. Everybody should have a message from me.

Please check your own address again. Please wait a few days before you send anything. We need that time to correct address problems and other difficulties. If something is or seems to be wrong please PM me.

As this is not a blind print exchange, the "chain" is as follows:

RauschenOderKorn -> Oxleyroad -> piu58 -> awty -> scherbis -> tnp651 -> RauschenOderKorn

[This is for information only. Please keep in mind that nobody participating likes to receive a demotivational reminder or a PM saying "Where is my print?". If there is a problem, contact me. I will do my best to solve the problem.]

Our timeline:
Print and Send: November and December 2019
Rest and Relaxation: January 2020

If you like, please share your prints in this thread or in the gallery before sending them. Also, please give us a short heads up when you send or receive a print.

Have fun with ALPX-3!

Dear Paul, I just sent a letter out to its journey to a destination at the other side of the world. I hope you enjoy the prints, Uwe.

Dear Paul, I just sent a letter out to its journey to a destination at the other side of the world. I hope you enjoy the prints, Uwe.

Hi Uwe, your prints arrived today in good condition. Two lovely Lith prints in my favorite colours, one of a street scene of a medieval village in the Harz mountains. What a lot of windows to clean. I googled Harz, very picturesque place. The second was a picture of a gate leading to an old allotment garden with a shed at the back, looks like they are growing weeds and grasses, just like my back yard! Thanks Uwe, you do great work and thanks for the hand written letter.

 

[Oxleyroad]

My print dropped off at the post office this morning. It is on it's way to Germany. Tracking number - CJ173969751US.

Now I am off home to Oz. Merry Christmas everyone.

 

[piu58]

Dear Andy, thank you for this special Christmas present. I write a few words here if I got your letter.
Rgds, Uwe.

Wow, that looks great. I can´t wait until the mail arrives.

@ tnp651: I received the print yesterday after some customs issues. Good news: they did not find any drugs in the envelope, and I did not have to pay any taxes

Thanks for a really great print!

Yesterday I got the letter from Andy. A real great print! The sujet, a msuhroom, very well fits to the Lith process. Andy used self mixed developer.

The scan does not give the charme of the image to full amount.

I am very happy.with that print and my wife enjoyed it too.

 

[Oxleyroad]

Uwe , I am so glad the photo arrived safe and sound and it was enjoyed. I certainly enjoyed making it.

As I’m in Oz I’ll not be able to confirm my package until I return in mid Jan 2020.

 

[scherbis]

My print was sent out this morning.

I got a beautiful salt print titled "Hay Rake" from Scherbis. You're getting a nice deep black there, friend! Thanks for the inspiration.

 

[scherbis]

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you got it so soon.
Steve

Hi, mine will be a little late, having some technical issues I need to sort out.

 

[awty]

Mine are sent.

I received an envelope full of Paul's prints over a week ago, as well as a very nice letter. I apologize, I haven't been able to get them scanned before tonight.
