Several of the people on this group have discussed the possibility to put together an alternative process travelling portfolio to send around to the members that are interested.
If anyone is interested in the possibility of this, let's talk about it publicly here, and maybe we can get one started. I've discussed this with Jorge, and they will set up a private room for us if this happens, so we can discuss the images and other items in a private forum.
I am thinking that I would like to limit the portfolio to only alternative process images, and to North America to keep the arrangements simple for everyone.
This portfolio would be an opportunity for everyone to participate, and I would like to see everyone that is active in this group in the portfolio. There are several reasons for this; it is difficult for someone to judge what another person is saying unless you have a little bit of context to the style of printing that the others do.
I understand that some people sell their work, and I think it is possible to submit a print that has flaws or has been cancelled so there is no concern about the print being lost in the shuffle, and if it is lost, there is no inherent value to the image.
The portfolio will be a great opportunity for beginners to have feedback from more experienced printers if they wish, and a good way to get tactile exposure with a variety of processes and see what particular printing methods and procedures can do. These benefits are much too subtle to see in any scanned image, and can really only be done by viewing the image in your hands.
Is there any interest in such a portfolio?
