After a week of heaviness, I thought I'd resurrect the filmwasters print circle as a kind of friendly virtual group hug. for those to new to remember the exchange, or those with brains as sieve-like as mine, here is a reminder of the rules:
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 Christine, who sends to Farquois, who sends to Jiminy, who sends to Millicent 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 fulfilled their commitment (unless mitigating circumstances apply)
7. New members with no contribution in the forum are asked to get involved before signing up to the Print Circle. We ask at least an introduction post or a few thread posts.
8. All participants will receive details of the person from whom they will receive a print. It is the responsibility of each participant to chase up outstanding prints.
if you have not participated in the previous rounds, please send me the address you want your print sent to by PM when you sign up - those who have already had a go, I should still have your details.
Please try to may attention to rule number 7, we've had lots of people in the past joining up just to join the print exchange, then never sending a print, which just isn't cricket now is it?
Closing date for sign up = Friday 18th September midnight BST. Post your intention to participate on this thread.
Cheers
Leon
