Has anyone sent anything yet. I received the list of names a while ago and wondered if people have sent anything yet. Just wondering.....

I seem to be one of the first - and only senders - so I waiting this round until I get something first.... Nothing so far.

Regards, Art.

I received a very nice print from Nancy Phaup (Arelia99) for Group I. Mine will probably go out next week.

Troy · Dec 10, 2006

I'll be printing this week.

Love that shot!

I got side tracked building a vertical tray rack for my tiny bathroom. Will probably get prints made after I get back from vacation...

PhotoPete · Dec 28, 2006

Bump.

PhotoPete · Jan 3, 2007

Anyone? Beuller? Beuller?

Troy · Jan 4, 2007

Sorry, I dozed off there for a minute and when I woke up I had to Google "bump." I seriously had no idea what that meant.

Anyway, yours is the only print I've seen. Thank you. It's cool. Was that with 35mm film?

My prints are made, and, if all goes well, they'll be in the mail tomorrow.

Oh, my favorite bit is when he squeaks the clarinet and looks at the camera and says cheerfully, "Never had one lesson." Whenever any member of my band ( www.halfmoonjugband.com plug, plug ) makes a an embarassing mistake we'll say that and laugh... and then chug a beer. Rules are rules.

MenacingTourist · Jan 8, 2007

Back from vacation and fired up to print!
Looking at the negatives from WTC day in nyc and there's one or two I'm excited to try out

So far, I have received two prints from this exchange.

Peter sent a very neat 'abstract' taken with a modified Holga of reflections. The mod extended the length of the image to make a nice 4.5" x 8" panoramic image. This is a great print.

Bastiaan sent a print of a sheep peering over a fence at the camera, also taken with a Holga. This image is particularly serendipidous as on Saturday, I attended a lecture by Alec Soth at Photo LA 2007, where sheep were prominent in his artistic vision at one point.

Regards, Art.

PhotoPete · Jan 23, 2007

Art, you have fared better than I, as I have received exactly none. Perhaps the other group has done better?
It's a little bit of a disappointing turnout for the APUG community. I know that in the past, you have been very diligent about reminding people to fulfill the print exchange commitments they have made. I'm a little saddened to learn that that's what was keeping these things going, rather than the personal responsibility of the individuals involved. I'm not willing to invest the time in hounding people to follow though on what they agreed to do, so I don't think I will try to arrange another one of these in the future.

Bastiaan · Jan 24, 2007

Art, it is a goat and not a sheep not to spoil your serendipitous story!

Peter, I sent all my photos for Group A some time ago but didnt get any reply, except Arts above. I hope everyone received theirs so anyone who hasnt yet had theirs, please let me know. I would really regret it if this terrific exchange were to end.

Anupam Basu · Jan 25, 2007

I had to do without an enlarger for a month or so, so couldn't get my prints out. The horror is finally over and I located a nice omega - so hopefully will be able to print this weekend and send it out on Monday.

Apologies for the delay.

Anupam

gr82bart · Jan 31, 2007

OK, so I waited long enough. I made 6 prints. Even though I haven't received 4 of 6 prints, I'll be sending all of mine out in good faith (or naivete). Help me restore my faith in this exchange!

Thanks, Art.

Anupam Basu · Jan 31, 2007

Mine went out yesterdayfor group one. Once again, sorry for the delay.

PhotoPete · Jan 31, 2007

Bastiaan-
I got yours last week. I think it's one of the best I've gotten from any exchange. Thanks.

Art-
FWIW, the print I sent out does not include reflections. That was all done in-camera, pointing at the 'real world'. I can send out a link on the modification I made if anyone is interested. Just PM Me.

Peter

gr82bart · Apr 2, 2007

Well I just received a couple fantastic prints made from an 'old Holga that now reads Olga' - a babuschka of sorts I guess! Thank you so much Troy, this was a wonderfull surprise!

Regards, Art.

doitashimashite · Apr 2, 2007

What a nice surprise, to find 2 beautiful B&W (H)olga prints on my doormat. Thanks a lot Troy! They are really beautiful.

I have to apologize to the other people on my list for my tardiness; but a promise is a promise and I will not forget to send you my print.

Until next, kind regards from Holland!

Troy · Apr 2, 2007

Glad you liked them. Olga says hello (with a heavy accent of course) to you all.

gr82bart · Sep 1, 2007

Well, no one can accuse me of being a deadbeat!

I just sent out the last two prints to PhotoPete and Bastiaan! I also added an extra print that I took on World Pinhole Photography Day as a pathetic penance for being almost a year late on this exchange. My sincere apologies.

I hope you guys like these two images. They are very different taken on two very different cameras.

Regards, Art.

I hope no one misses it, but according to Dead Link Removed it's today.
