Carl, page one says, "same guidelines as the previous two rounds so please read through them to see what is considered acceptable etc."

I can't find these guidelines?

[CarlRadford]

We split into groups of four or five. We try and balance the experts, intermediates and beginners in each group. Each member of the group mails a print to the other three/four members, and receives three/four prints. The only requirement being that it is a print made with one of the alternative processes. Up to individuals if images are over-matted, size etc etc. Some info on how the print was made etc always nice. You can always ask to be in more than one group should you wish!

Cut-Off tomorrow...

so far we have 21! 24 would give us 6 groups of 4 and we'd get a nice balance of experience across the groups. I am happy to be in 2 groups - looking for 2 others to do 2, first come first served unless we get a few to do 2 and then I will redo the groups even if I need to pull out of 2 to make the numbers work?

All the best, Carl

 

[gr82bart]

Carl,

I'd be in for 2 groups as well.

Regards, Art.

 

[David A. Goldfarb]

I'd be in for 2 groups if you need another.

 

[gwatson]

I'd like to be in one group, if it is not too late. Bit of a novice really.

Cheers

Geoff

[CarlRadford]

Are we sure there are no takers for an extra slot?

counted the groups prior to removing Matt from the calculations so it was my error however....

 

[Mark Fisher]

In the mail....mostly

I finished mine and they are out in the mail except I have not heard from David Goldfarb.......if you are out there, please send me a PM with your address.

 

[gr82bart]

Whew! I just finished all my prints for this exchange, but I don't have all the addys. Allen and Jim, please PM me your addy so that I can mail the prints to you this week. I needed to do this since I'll be traveling for the next 4-6 weeks.

Regards, Art.

 

[Mark Fisher]

and now they are all out

David's is out now too!

 

[David A. Goldfarb]

Thanks! I'll try to get mine out in the next few weeks or so.

I just got a PM from Mateo about the albumen print I sent him back in June--

Hi there David,

yesterday I went to change out the doormat at my house and found a package under it. The cardboard was in really bad shape but I could still read the addresses on it and was really surprised to find your print completely undamaged.[...]

Well, I guess the lesson is to pack carefully. I usually send mine either in an 11x14x1" box that I can get from Staples in packs of 5 or in a Savage corrugated cardboard print mailer. Not sure which I used for Mateo's.

 

[CarlRadford]

Or...

Just check under the mat more often

I printed my images for Round 3 last night.

This was the first photographic task I have done in almost 2 months and it felt good to get back to the darkroom. I really need to get back into the swing of things. Why do all the good things have to wait?

Now I just have to matt and mount them and get them in the post! (I am still waiting for 2 addresses as well)

Cheers

Phill

I just received a beautiful Bromoil transfer from Gene Laughter.
