BLIND PRINT EXCHANGE ROUND 22 (BPX22) - STATUS AND UPDATES

Well, here we are again! Remember that the exchange time period is February-March. April will be rest and we will have the round 23 signup in May. Try not to procrastinate, the period is much shorter this time around.

Here is the roster. I have just sent out the PMs so if you didn't get one please let me know ASAP. Do not send your print until Wednesday, February 10 to allow for address corrections just in case, heaven forbid, I screwed something up or someone moved since they sent their address and forgot to tell me. Your PM will also contain your own address; please check it and notify me at once if it is incorrect or out of date.

The roster this time is:

1 Anthony (adelorenzo)
2 Eugene (anikin)
3 Todd (astroclimb)
4 Jake (Black Dog)
5 Mike (canvassy)
6 Howard (howardpan)

Please keep us informed and post here when you've sent or received your print.
Optionally, once the print makes it to the destination, you can upload the image of the print to the Gallery: (there was a url link here which no longer exists). Please send me a link to your image so I can link it
to my status updates where everyone can enjoy it.

Let's have fun!

Eugene.

1234567....all good APUgers go to heaven!

Thanks, Anikin, for organizing this fine exchange again.
I'll be taking a wekkend course in carbon printing again in two weeks time (done that before but it is just fun to do).
So if it works out just fine, then I'll send a carbon print.
Otherwise just a "regular" print.

I suppose the original printer/sender will upload the image under his own name AFTER the recipient confirmed here that he received the image? Otherwise it would spoil the surprise of opening the package.
(stating the obvious - I know - but better save than sorry)

My prints are in the mail, I sent out three prints. I'll upload scans of it after the addressee got them

Wow, that was fast! Uwe, you are putting us all to shame! I really should try to print mine this week. Luckily my
darkroom mini-remodel is done, so all I need is time...

Now to mount them.

... and maybe send two different ones to the other BPE participants suggested.

I've received Piu58's prints- excellent and a welcome surprise in the mail...thanks!

Dear friends,

Black Dog received my prints so I can show you what I sent out. Scans are always slightly different form the real thing, sorry for that.

By the way, for procrastinators among us (and who is not?), we are already quarter way through print and send stage! By now you should have already made at least a trial print...

Let's make it a round where EVERYBODY receives a print (or two or three...)!!!!!

I've been doing a bunch of test prints and should be doing the final prints this weekend.

If it helps, I've actually scheduled some extra vacation time two weekends from today just to do this project. I've even sent the better half to Hawaii over those same days just to assure the free time stays free...

God I wish it was that easy for me. My better half would need to take the 9yo son and 7yo daughter something that is not going to happen in my life time.

I received Anikin's print today, a very lovely Hogwarts Express Thanks Eugene!

I was hoping to have mine sent out by now, but the bulb in my new-to-me enlarger blew and I'm waiting for a replacement to arrive. I'm planning on getting it mailed out before the end of the month here.

Next 2 weekends I'll be making carbon prints: this weekend making the carbon tissue and paper, next weekend the final printing.
If it works out, I'll send a print through BPX22 to one of you guys. Otherwise it will be just a dull silverprint

Mike,

That was fast! I just mailed it on Friday. I'm glad you like the print. I'll wait for the other recipients to get their copies before posting a scan here. If only I knew of a good way to scan it...

Prints are off to recipients--three to my assigned recipient, one each to the back-up recipients.

Since I don't scan or photograph digitally, I won't be posting the pics. I have no objection if there's some way for the recipients to post what they received.

Got the gorgeous photo from Laura today, thanks much!
