Lith print exchange, anybody interested?

[Mateo]

Sorry Matti, don't know how I skipped you on the last list.

Ok, so if everyone is comfortable with the October 31 mailing date and 4 in a group, let's do it. I've got prints ready to go out the door so any date works for me.

One last call for anyone else to join or unjoin and we'll start making up the groups

 

[Mark Fisher]

I think I'll have to drop out this time around. I have a couple of shows I want to print for in that time frame. Given that I need to really learn how to lith print, I really won't be able to hit the dates. Definitely in next time!

10/31 Sounds good - 4 different prints or 4 the same?

 

[John McCallum]

Sorry I missed this round Mateo - would like to be in the next one.

So why don't you step in for Mark Fisher?

I'd like to sign up for the next round - I have too much travelling coming up for this one

[John McCallum]

Thanks Ruediger, probably best I hold on for next time. John.

Ok, there are 18 of us, we can do 3 groups of 4 and 2 groups of 3 or we can do 2 groups of 4 and 2 groups of 5.

The other thing is that I'm thinking we'll just do a random pick for the groupings cause I'm not sure where to place most of us experience wise.

 

[Travis Nunn]

I think 3 groups of 4 and two groups of 3 would be better. As far as just random groups, I'm all for it.

 

[keeds]

3 of 4 and 2 of 3 sounds good to me, takes me long enough to do one decent print let alone 5!!!!

 

[Gay Larson]

I guess we are all busy people with other jobs and family interferences so I would say 3 of 4 and 2 of 3. It is hard for me to find time in the darkroom anyway but I love lith and this will make it sure I get there soon. Thanks Mateo for organizing.

 

[rst]

So, if we are 18 we could also go with six groups of three people.

For me the hardest part of an exchange is done, as I already decided which negative to use

I am looking forward to this.

[Mateo]

hopefully we're all ready to go. I came up with a random grouping and now all we got to do is exchange addresses by PMs. Any last second withdrawls please let me know soon.

I've PM'd everyone in my group. Thanks for organizing this Mateo!

 

[timeUnit]

Great to see that it's starting to roll! Thanks Mateo! Uh, by the way... when's the deadline? :rolleyes:

 

[Rich Ullsmith]

Please count me in. I was thinking of suggesting this myself, but my organizational skills stink.

 

[Travis Nunn]

Great to see that it's starting to roll! Thanks Mateo! Uh, by the way... when's the deadline? :rolleyes:

Send prints by October 31

 

[sly]

PMs sent

I've sent my particulars to Group 2. Hope to beat the deadline, but you never know what life will throw in your way. Sly

 

[Fintan]

Can someone PM me with the procedure as I haven't done a print exchange before.

Have my neg picked out and ready to go

 

[keeds]

group 5, your prints are done, they are drying/flattening as we speak, will get them in the post at the weekend probably. not that that matters as the royal mail have just gone on stike for the best part of a week....

 

[keeds]

group 5, your prints went out in the post yesterday. will be delayed due to further industrial action by the royal mail... :-(

 

[rst]

Hey group 4, I printed yesterday and the prints are being flattened right now. They will go out this week. Hope you will like them.

Regards

Well, the good news is I set down to my first ever lith session this evening! Yay!

The bad news is... I'm going to be buying some more paper ... I think a few more iterations are going to be required before I come up with something acceptable for the exchange!

Still, plenty of time...

 

[tim_walls]

Ruediger's beautiful print arrived today - with a really nice letter as well, thank you! That's what I love about these exchanges - it's so unusual to receive anything through the post that actually makes you smile these days; it's a rare treat

 

[mikeg]

Mine were posted today.

Cheers

Mike
