Filmwasters Print Circular Print Exchange
« on: January 05, 2007, 09:42:26 AM »
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)

I would love to participate as well.  I'll send you my address shortly.

I have a question though.  If it's a color tranny or something color, is it alright to have a lab make the print professionally?  I mean, I don't make my own injets, and would wonder if I might be limited to bw then.  Just curious....since I see your example here is quite lovely and all that.

Thanks,
Tammy

good question Tammy.  Personally, I'd prefer to receive something that someone has created by themselves rather than a lab job, but that is just me.  I wonder what others might think?

The picture posted here wasnt meant to signify anything other than 1. it's been very grey here recently so a bit if spring colour is good to see, and 2. I'm just trying to lead by example to get people to post a few more pics on the forum :)

Stupid question but I don't want to trample the rules...Are we allowed to scan said neg/pos and make the print from that (no fancy PS work besides the darkroom basics).

My darkroom is nowhere near being functional (as in non-existent) and the labs are non-feasible.

If that's Kosher I'd love to get in.

ok - - this is now closed.  Sorry to those who didnt manage to send me their addresses - I'm afraid you'll have to sit out of this round.  provided this one goes to plan, I'm sure there'll be a round 2 soon.

Private messages with the details of the person you'll be sending to are on the way to all who signed up.

Enjoy the prints everyone.  Please post here when you receive and who from so I can keep a track of the round progress.  ta.

Good god that is an amazing image.....congratulations on receiving that. I must say I am very excited about the whole process. I posted my image off today and it is a mixture of pleasure and pain. You send something you love with no knowledge of the persons tastes. Crazy, I am very excited.

Below's a poor scan (sorry  :-\) of a beautiful print I received from Mr. Aaron Boot.  It is a platinum-printed Holga image and came to me with a nice mat and backing.  As result, it will hang on my wall at work  ;)  This scan does not do justice to the tonality imparted by the platinum.  It is a wonderful print of a lovely image and I thank you, Aaron!
