I got mine printed finally! It was my first attempt at fiber paper larger than 5x7. They are under a bunch of books at the moment will get sent by the end of the week. I'd like to get them a little flatter first and spot them! Sorry I'm such a straggler this round! It did get me printing again! I've been procrastinating but once I got started I didn't want to stop!

As I said, I have gotten some updates from those on these lists. No need to defend yourselves. I just sent my prints out today so I waited until after that point. If you should not be on these lists because you have sent or received as the case may be then just let us know here. I have sent PM's to all concerned.

It has been a smooth round thus far. Again, no stress. Just putting the list out there.

And late yesterday afternoon from the Big Sky Country two nice prints of the Yellowstone River, thanks Lori. A bulletproof packing job that not even during Christmas rush could the Post Office bend or break.

OK Chris, my print went out today - so you can put my name on the has-sent list. I hope my little kallitype will be welcome at the receiver.

And thanks to Matt you can also put my name on the has-received list. Matt sent a nice and interesting portrait which will NOT go out with Christmas wrapping.

Cheers
Ruediger

Sorry, folks. Been ill over the weekend. Bad pain. Best illness I have ever had. Because it made me not to ever want a cigarette again and I have not had one since Fri afternoon. And don't want one either. No desire for a puff whatsoever. I love it. I don't stink anymore. Well, not like that anyway.

Craig received Keith's offering as well. I'll update things when I get home this evening and then we will see where we stand. Things are tidying right up this round. Brillliant.

Hope you are feeling better. The trick now is to stay not smoking after you feel better! I'm hoping for one of those triggers to quit smoking someday. Don't know that I want a painful best illness ever to get quit though! Working in health care should be enough of one but so far (20 years of working in heal care) it hasn't done it!

I had finally gotten to the point where my biggest problem was a real FEAR that I would never be able to have another cigarette ever again for the rest of my life. I'm just glad that something happened to strengthen my resolve and get me over the hump.

I received two very nice prints from Chris today, so I guess I can be off the infamous list

I still have to decide which one I like the most, is it the quiet morning pond, or the machinery detail (yes I am heavily biased towards such details, but I do love landscapes also)

Thanks a lot my friend !

OK then. Three not sent yet and an additional two not received. 16 of 21 are done.

We're gonna have the Round 13 signups starting in a week and a half, after the holidays. I hope that We hear some good news shortly thereafter.

First ... received a lovely Kallitype today from R. Stobbe (Germany) ... such an awesome print and I love the alternative process. Thanks so much! I'm quite fascinated that it was made with your Nikon FM-2, as I just obtained one myself. Again, thanks so much.

Second ... I have wrapped up a semester of both working and teaching and got overwhelmed ... add a bit of procrastination .. yes my print is late going out. I promise it will hit the mail next week after XMAS weekend, and I apologize to my recipient for the delay

No prob on the delay, Greg. Given circumstances it's perfectly understandable. Thanks for the update, though.

Yes Chris, but that way we only need one print for the whole exchange

I think there is already a travelling portfolio action going on here on APUG.

I know. I really had no intention of doing that. I would like to keep that which I receive.
