Ok so there is interest. Here is the plan:
First we need a list of interested photographers. By end of May I
need a list
of committed contributers.
email to eroustom@xxxxxxxxxxx with the subject "2008 Rollei Print
Exchange"
without the quotes.
Once we have a fixed number of contributors, each of us will
edition a print
in that number.
(If there are 15 of us, we will each make 15 copies of our print.)
Title (optional), number and sign each print in the border or on
the back,
include information about the photo on separate cover (for title
sheet).
5x7 RC or FB enlarged or contact print of negative(s) exposed
through any
camera or lens made by Rollei.
Flat prints only (no canoe shaped FB sheets) please.
No digital processes or interventions.
Mail the prints to me at:
Elias Roustom
2008 Rollei Print Exchange
EM Letterpress
419 Sawyer Street
New Bedford, MA 02746
USA
I guess you can include me out.
My name is Mark Rabiner and I am a farily well respected print maker.
I've been printing inkjet for a few years now no one has complained.
In the past 1.5 years since I've been in New York I don't have a
darkroom I
have a very small apartment.
Which I've not minded as my darkroom in Portland I'd not used in
years my
Epson's have gotten lots of use commercially and in gallery type
shows.
There may be one or two other people in my position.
People without darkrooms ...
Who seem to think what they have been hard at work doing for years
is "ok".
I shot with my Rollei the first few months I was here in Manhattan
but not
sine or I'd have contributed to the RUG book.
May I respectfully suggest that a print of an Epson 3800 on 100%
rag beats
an RC print out of the water by a million miles?
But what do I know? I've only made tens of thousands of RC prints over
decades and hundreds of inkjets over the past one.
