Aggie. It's on the proposed order of shipment page

Here's the link (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

All you need to remember is your password to get on the page.

Oh, and remember, when life gives you lemons. Ask for tequila and salt.

 

[David A. Goldfarb]

And if you've forgotten how to get onto the page, just email me, and I can give you the password and the combo for the lock.

Sounds good to me, can't wait to see it

 

[David A. Goldfarb]

Makes sense to me, since he's in your area. If it's okay with Brian, maybe we can make that a permanent change, since it would cut out one postal hop.

 

[bmac]

fine with me.

 

[Jim Chinn]

That would be ok by me.

I'm here. My print is still un-toned and still needs spotting. I guess I better hop on it, for at least the spotting, as I've never toned and though I know the procedure, I'd hate to mess up one of the prints. So I may forego the toning.
(This isn't my best work, but it's a print I finished in a local printing workshop that was real informative. )

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the portfolio and adding to the collection. What a great idea this was.

And Thanks Aggie for taking the initiative on this local distribution.

 

[David A. Goldfarb]

I guess we can discuss the content of the portfolio in this thread, and if it gets too complicated, we can start new threads. I think people have refrained from commenting so far, because there are only a few prints, but I'm sure the discussion will evolve as there is more to talk about.

Personally, I don't mind scanning. However, I don't have a model release for my contribution, so it's a bit doubtful wheter it should be scanned and put on the net.
Could we make a closed gallery for the portfolio images?

 

[David A. Goldfarb]

I'd rather not have my print scanned. For me the Portfolio project is about the qualities of prints that are not really representable on screen.

 

[bmac]

I agree with David, The idea behind the project is to see what the prints really look like. There are plenty of scanned prints in the APUG gallery.

[David A. Goldfarb]

I don't see why we can't have it both ways. If some people want to post scans of their submissions for the portfolio, then we could create a portfolio gallery, and those who want to post can post, and those who would prefer not to, as Bartleby said, need not post.

I really don't understand your point there... Care to explain? I think it is great that Aggie has offered to scan the prints, and anyone who is interested in getting a scan should contact her. I for one will post a scan to the gallery if and when I want to. A lot of work goes into preparing an image for uploading, I would want to be able to tweak the scan to suit my tastes. Make sense?

 

[Jorge]

When we first started to discuss this project it was borne out of the lack of quality scanned images have. So to scan them now is actually going backwards. That, said I suppose that when the portfolio has all 20 prints it would be good to have a locked gallery where nobody can upload or download the images. This would be good for the purpose of discussion and for members who did not participate to get an idea of the diversity of the work. At the momnet I would not want the image I sent scanned, merely because I would want to keep some kind of control on how the image looks.

[Jorge]

Thanks Aggie! Glad you liked it. Still I think we should better wait to scan the images. I suppose that on the second go around when we replace the image we can scan the old one and post it. I kind of like the element of surprise the portfolio has at the moment, so I would be a little dissapointed if I got to see the images here before I got to see them for "real". I guess we can make an informal "vote" but I would preffer to have the scans at the second go around after of the "old" image.
