BLIND PRINT EXCHANGE ROUND 14 (BPX14) - STATUS AND UPDATES

[markbarendt]

Thank you Mark for your kind words. I'm glad you like the image. I was really worried you might have a hard time pulling that print from the postal tube, unfortunately that was my only option at the post office to mail the print of this size.

Worked great.

 

[Laurent]

Sorry for the long silence... my print is now made (hope it was worth the wait, I finally decided it was time to try Ilfobrom Galerie and am quite happy with this paper's look !). It should go before the end of this week.

Cheers !

Hi all

Life has sort of gotten in the way of printing, but hopefully I should be able to get things together within a week. I will therefore be a little delayed, but hopefully not too much.

 

[hpulley]

I finally sent mine last night, overnight UPS in an attempt for the organizer to try and send it before it was late. No word here so I will check UPS.

Sorry I have been MIA. I will look over the replies now and put together a summary of who has sent and received.

 

[Ken Nadvornick]

Harry,

I'm running late, but have not - and won't - just disappear. I haven't missed a BPE print yet. But right now two jobs combined with evening certificate classes have squeezed pretty hard. Still, after Dec 8th time should free up enough to get it out before Christmas.

Ken

 

[hpulley]

Thanks for the update, Ken. I understand about work being busy.

 

[sage]

I'm hoping to get mine in the mail soon too, everythings ready to go, just been busy with work :/ I did get some awesome prints though.

 

[JNaetke]

I'm happy to report:
I sent my print out today, with a little note inside. It will in arrive in 2 weeks or so.
It is a 24*30cm print mounted to museo board and was split-toned in sepia and selenium.
I didn't write down my nickname (just my full name), but it's pretty self-explanatory (Jannis Nätke=jnaetke)

Good vibrations to the recipient, hopefully you will like the print!

 

[hpulley]

Thanks for the update, Jannis!

Still need to do my summary.

Have I missed any sent or received notices? If so, please let me know here or in PM.

 

[JohnMeadows]

I apologize for my tardiness; my print will be out this week. On the plus side, I am going to use some Ilford Art 300

 

[Laurent]

My print i finally in the mail. Flattening did not get me the expected results, so it may use an extra time under a press (books are fine usually for me)

Cheers !
Laurent

 

[lorirfrommontana]

I'm so sorry about my tardiness! I've been working on going to grad school and have let this exchange and my very tardy postcard exchange fall by the wayside. I will get my print out in the next week. I'll let you know here when it actually sends!

So it seems we still have some work to do during the rest and relaxation month of December and the sign up month of January. Remember that you shouldn't sign up in January until you've posted your print for round 14 and any earlier rounds for which you may still have open obligations.

Chris had another way of posting status that I liked, showing those who has sent and received, sent only, received only and neither sent nor received. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

Hi Harry. I should be on the "Received only" list, but not on the "Neither sent nor received" list. I have already received an excellent print from 'markbarendt' but have not yet sent my print. I'm currently aiming for next Saturday as a darkroom day.

Ken

 

[sage]

I should be on the recieved list, I will be sending tomarrow.

It arrived today, thanks! The surface of the Agfa MCC and the textures and toning really make it appear to have depth and warmth. I love the lichens and little plants clinging to the rocks, the black outside the water, the reflection of the sun. Very well done, thanks again.

Good to know the print reached your place safe and sound!
And all the more, that you like it.
Cheers, and I loved doing it.

 

[hankins27]

I sent my print out back in Sept. or Oct. so please add me to "sent" list.

Thanks for keeping track of all of this!
