Subject: [pure-silver] Negative Exchange
The negative is comparable to the composer's score and the print to its
performance. Each performance differs in subtle ways.
- Ansel Adams
I think everyone would agree that the print exchanges are interesting,
educational and FUN!
In the print exchanges we have all seen each others performance of their
own work.
How about something just a little different a Negative Exchange.
How would it work?
* 6 participants would each go out and make ONE negative.
* They would send their negative to me.
* I would send one negative to each photographer with a list of
the other participants.
* Each participant would be given one month to print 7 identical
prints of the negative.
* After printing the Printer would cross their name off the list
and then mail the negative to the next printer on the list who would
then have one month to make 7 identical print, And so on until all six
negatives had been printed.
* On the back of each print note the name of the photographer, and
your name along with details of what went into making the print.
* After you have printed all six negatives send all prints to me
and I will put it all together and send to each participant along with
their negative.
This would be interesting because each photographer would be approaching
each negative with none of the preconceptions that the photographer or
any of the other printers might have. Every negative is open to
interpretation. It will be interesting to see your interpretation of
others negatives.
As Ansel Adams might say you would have the opportunity to perform the
music written by another with your own interpretation.
Issues to be discussed:
The number of participants was picked by me. It can be larger or
smaller.
There probably should be a standard format for the exchange. 35mm may
be universal. If all participants can print larger sizes then larger
format negatives should be considered. I can print everything from
Minox to 4X5 so it doesnt matter to me.
Should there be a theme?
Time issues 1 month to shoot your negative and mail. One month to print
each negative.
Number of prints - one per printer plus one extra.
When mailing in your prints please include the amount it cost to ship to
me to cover the cost of shipping the group back.
Another thought - should each photographer also print seven copies of
their own negative so a camparison of the various interpretations can be
made to the performance by the creator of the image?
Please share your thoughts on the conduct of this exchange. The
Negative exchange would be open on a first come basis...
Good Light!
