Hi David, I'm not sure what you mean, sorry.David Henderson said:My b&w FB prints are made for me . Does this disqualify me from participating in this venture. They are of course entirely analogue.
Ah, I see. Well, I think if you have the print made then it is a collaboration of sorts so should be listed photographer -john doe printed by- joe bloggsDavid A.

What do you guys think?
David Henderson said:Thank you all for the feedback. The reason I raised the issue ( which I agree isn't much of a question elsewhere) is the following form of words in the welcome section.
"All works are handcrafted photographs produced by the artists"
and I simply did not wish to behave deceptively, albeit that they are handcrafted and they are produced to my detailed brief /direction.

Anupam Basu said:I just signed up and the gallery seems to have great potential. It'll probably be a while before I submit prints, but thought I'd ask a couple of questions anyway.
Would the images displayed in the gallery need to be scans from the print or would a direct scan from a negative do for display purposes?
Secondly, when one says archival or fine art print, does it imply FB? I ask because even though I have used FB paper in my university darkroom a few times I find variable contrast RC paper much more easier to work with at home (and I produce much better prints when I am not paying by the hour ... LOL)
Thanks.
The thing is posting negative scans, rather then scans from the real print, is that a negative scan is usually quite different then a scan from the real print. What if you decide to do some burning and dodging on the print? Whoever is purchasing the image would be quite unhappy to recieve a print that looks totally different then the one they were purchasing on APUG.
If you are printing RC at home, there is no reason why you cannot be printing fiber. I can almost promise you that EVERYONE on APUG would rather purchase a fiber print over a RC print. RC are not archival, not the best quality, and are CHEEP. Sometimes producing "fine art prints" requires abit of work, and taking the easy way out, by print on RC, is NOT the way to go. I suggest you list only fiber prints, because not many would be interested in a RC print.

according to the folks at kodak, rc paper -- they claim --- is just as ( or they have even told me *MORE* ) archival than fiber based prints.
it all depends how it is processed so YMMV

Feel the same way Diane and Frank....in fact wonder how many others would signup except for feeling that either there is not a large enough body of work or that our work is just not quite up to the lavel we feel is appropriate for the sales gallery?colrehogan said:I would also be interested at some point in the future, Sean; I feel that I haven't built up a large enough body of work with sufficient variety to participate yet. Hope to rectify that soon.
