Postcard Exchange Galleries: Deadline 31st May 2009
« on: May 18, 2009, 11:32:17 AM »
Prompted by Nicole & Diane we've decided that it would be a great idea to set up 3 galleries to document each of the postcard exchanges we've run so far. I'm loathe to set up another page on Filmwasters for the postcard swaps, so I think it best to integrate them into the Collaboration galleries page.

While it would be great if the galleries could represent all of the work involved in the three exchanges I simply don't have time to chase everyone involved to get scans of their work before making the galleries public. So I'll be the passive participant in this enterprise and will leave it up to you. If you want your work in the galleries please see the instructions below. If you don't want the work included or just don't have time to send in the scan and related info that's fine.

Here's how to send in your photos (the instructions will be familiar to anyone who's participated in any of our regular collaborations):

  • Send your images via email to 'filmwasters (at) gmail.com'
  • Send each image in a separate email. Do NOT send 2 or 3 images in the same email.
  • Please make sure the subject of your email follows this format as closely as possible: 'Postcard Exchange #1: Your Name'. If you don't do this there's a small chance the email will be missed.
  • Write any information you want me to include in the gallery in the body of the email.
  • 72 dpi (preferred), max 600-750 pixels in longest dimension (mandatory), no more than 200 kb in size (mandatory).

Since the material should be to hand I'd like to keep the deadline quite short so let's say Sunday 31st May. If stuff arrives after that date I'm sure it'll get added eventually, but I'll be putting the galleries online around that date, so if you want to be in from the start please get me your work by the 31st.

Sorry for asking the stupid question, but what size image should we send?

Nigel,

I'm assuming the parameters are the same as other collaborations: 72 dpi, max 600-750 pixels in longest dimension, no more than 200 kb in size.

Just mailed my images off to Ed now.

Balls!! Yes, same image sizes as before.

"72 dpi (preferred), max 600-750 pixels in longest dimension (mandatory), no more than 200 kb in size (mandatory)." (have edited original post above to include this info.

Scan either the postcard itself or just send in a scan of the neg/print. Up to you. I'm just going to submit my original neg scans, not go through the process of scanning the postcards.

Oh crap - I think my images were bigger than that. Will re-size and re-send.

Yeah please do, Sean.

Everyone else, feel free to take a couple more days to send in your pictures. I've downloaded all of the images that were sent to the Filmwasters mailbox by the end of Sunday evening, but will wait probably until Thursday (4th June) before I actually populate the galleries.

Exchanges #2 and #3 we received a lot of images for, but Exchange #1 is still very light, so please send in your work from that Exchange if you have time. Thanks.

Don't know if you remember..but I think there were only about 10 or 11 postcards in that exchange..so this is only relative if what you have received in a lot less.. :)

Sorry everybody. I haven't had time to do the galleries yet (like you hadn't guessed). I've been super busy with various things and have also been struck down with a demon cold this week which hasn't helped...and now I'm about to take a week's holiday down in Cornwall. It's probably fair to say that I hope to have the postcard galleries online before the end of 2009!!

But I will do it ASAP, I promise. In the meantime, you may as week send in your scans if you've not had time to yet; you have at least a week before I'm back in front of a PC.
