Happy new year to everyone.
Behind the scenes, we've been having a chat about kick-starting the new year with a few projects to get involved in. First off is the ...... wait for it ... (drum roll) ....
:o Filmwasters Print Circle :o
Round 1
UK members who are active over on APUG will be familiar with this idea (yes, Dave Miller, I've blatantly ripped you off, sorry ;))
The details are simple
Filmwasters.com members sign up to participate here. Each person will be given the details of another filmwaster to whom they should send one print. This is not an exchange, you will only ever send one print and will recieve one print but from different people. So John sends to Chrstine, who sends to Farqious, who sends to Jiminy, who sends to Millisent who sends to John - and thus is the circle completed.
Rules are few:-
1. Prints should be made from film negatives/ positives - no digital capture.
2. Prints should be made on a paper size of 10x 8 or A4 as a minimum although images can be any size upon this
3. Prints can be made in any way including alt processes, silver gelatine, inkjet etc.
4. Any comments/ details/ criticism requests are purely optional, although this can be helpful.
5. There is nothing to stop you making private arrangements to exchange prints within the circle, but that is not the purpose if this excercise
6. Those who do not send on a print after signing up will not be allowed to participate in future rounds until they have done so (unless mitigating circumstances apply)
sign up here: and send me a PM with the address to which you would like a print sent. We should give it a few weeks for people to see and sign up, then I'll send all participants the address to which they should send their prints.
here's a picture to remind you of spring (it's coming soon, well for us northerners it is anyway)
