THE PRINT EXCHANGE II IS OPEN
**************************
Dear Fellow PF'ers ---
After the success of the PE-I, made possible
by your participation and fabulous postcards, a PE-II was inevitable.
As with PE-I, the idea is for the participants to end up with prints
from each other, reviews would be welcome, and after Roger's
suggestions from the PE-I, a website -- courtesy of John Lee --
will show all the postcard images so that everyone can see them.
There is no committee involved. The buck starts and stops here.
There is no contest. No competition. Only a friendly way to share
physical prints in the form of postcards.
* To keep things manageable, the exchanges will be broken up
into circles of ten members each. Once a circle has ten (10)
members, it will be closed off, and another one opened.
* Each participant is allowed on a maximum of two circles.
* The medium of exchange will be via postcard ONLY. This means B&W
prints made on postcard papers, computer prints, or color
neg/Chromogenic prints put on postcard backing. These are available at
most photo stores. I encourage every sender to send greetings and some
comment on the image on the other side. PLEASE do not send
archival, fine art prints ! ******
I want this to be simple.
* Projected costs: Drugstore color prints can be had for less
than .45 U$D, each postcard back runs about .35, and then
there is postage, so the cost for each circle one belongs to
will run about $10.00 for US members, more for those overseas.
* Anyone who fails to fulfil their exchanges will be dropped
from any other future exchanges, unless all of the circle
members who were shorted unanimously vote to let that person
participate again.
* If there's too many circles for me to handle, I may appoint
a circle leader(s) to assist.
* The time deadline will be 30 (thirty) earth-days.
* To join a circle, please reply directly and privately to me
now at: sfunp@scfn.thpl.lib.fl.us
* Please include the name and snail-mail address you want your
prints to go to.
* Once the circles are complete and closed, I will send e-mail to
all the members of that circle, with the list of participants
and their snail-mail addresses. From that day, there is a 30-day
deadline to get the prints to the other members.
