Ed has said we can play again this year so I'd like to formally open the 2015 Filmwasters Postcard Exchange.
Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the idea it's a lot of fun to share your work amongst like-minded folk. Details are as follows:
1) Sign up by August 30 if you want to play.
PM me your name and postal address with country and also your e-mail address.
I need your e-mail address to contact you since the forum only allows two private messages an hour. If you don't send me your e-mail, it will take longer to get your list of names.
2) Names will be sorted the week after sign-up closes.
Since we have Filmwasters from around the globe, I'll sort and divide the collected names into manageable groups (usually about 12 per group) to keep the cost of printing and postage at a manageable level. If you want to send to everyone who has signed up not just those on your list please let me know when you sign up. I will regularly update this topic with numbers of players.
Next I'll make a list of the sorted names and addresses and send them to everyone that signed up. Lists will be with you by September 6.
3) Postcards should be sent out by October 1
Cards can be printed in the darkroom, with inkjet printers or commercially on any paper (6x4 or 5x7 inches is recommended)
The important thing is the negative used to make the print must be analogue capture be it film, paper negative or Instant film.
The subject matter is entirely up to you and it's not a competition either, so have fun with it!
You can send a copy of the same print to everyone on your list, or you can make different prints for each person, it's up to you.
Details about the image such as location, camera and film type/capture written on the back with a short message are appreciated but that's up to you.
Stamp, address and then sign the cards so we know who they are from and drop them in the mail.
This is always a lot of fun, so don't miss out.
Once again the important dates to remember are:
August 30 = last day to sign up.
September 6 = names sorted into groups and lists sent to participants.
October 1 = deadline to send out your cards.
Any questions just let me know or reply to this topic.
That's it!
