Hi Janet,
I would be interested, but since I live in The Netherlands, and most reactions
thus far seems USA based, I would prefer sending post card size across the
ocean.
Perhaps compile a list of participants, your location and intended size of the
print your willing to send ?
Than participants can choose to continue or withdraw, since than one can
estimate the time and money needed for the exchange ?
Best,
Cor

What if we set the date sometime in the end of April? Do you think that's too
far out? It's not for me but I'd like input.
We can leave it open, concerning print size, if everyone agrees. I just don't
want the cost to be a burden to anyone. I'll leave that up to you guys. Seems
the consensus is for larger rather than postcards. I'll go with that and maybe
another time we can do postcards.
Let's put a limit on the number in the exchange (which may not be an issue
anymore.) 10 or 12 tops?

Depending on when you do it, Id be interested. It will be several weeks though
before I can. As far as print sizes, for something like this an 8x10 would be
a good compromise. There is also one other option. Instead of a specific
size, why not have either a range of sizes or leave the size up to the person
creating the photo. If they decide to make it big and want to pay the postage,
fine. International postage adds up quickly, but if they are willing to pay it
knowing what they get back may not be as big as they sent, Id be ok with that.
I would be disappointed if I was expecting something 16x20, and got something
3x5. IF everyone was fine with being surprised at what they got, why restrict?
I can also see where some upper and lower limits might be beneficial.
The bigger the group the more benefit the range might be. It is one thing to
get in the darkroom for a half dozen prints. It is another to have to get 20
done.
Brooks Jensen from the Lenswork podcast, and magazine, is a big fan of printing
small and small projects or portfolios. Though I agree, some things and some
prints need to be big to make the desired impact, I am also beginning to
believe that bigger is not always better. That is tough for anyone that lives
in Texas. Yet there is something different about interacting with a small
print that creates for me a different reaction. Not necessarily better or
worse, just different.

The reason I suggested postcards is because there's no need for a large
envelope, gathering cardboard or whatever to protect the print, and the greater
postage. AND I sort of enjoy printing small, but that's just me. And like has
been stated, for people outside the US it can get pretty pricey mailing large,
so how about on this go if we do postcards… Unless that means you have to go
out and buy for the cards.
So I guess the question is really, do you guys have postcard paper for the
darkroom? If you don't, and if you don't want to buy it (because we know that
no darkroom paper is cheap!) Then we can just say print whatever size you want.
You guys who like to print large, are you going to feel slighted if you receive
a small print?
Any ideas for time allowed for a "mail it out by..." date? Let's see if we can
gather some more people to participate. I've never organized one of these
exchanges here so have mercy if I'm awkward, and if you've done it before feel
free to tell me a better way. If you email me your mailing address I will
compile a list to send back to each contributor. And what else am I not
thinking of?

I’d like to participate, but with smaller prints. Mailing out of Ireland can be
expensive.

I think that is individual judgement. I also like large prints but have made
lots of smaller ones that I thought were pleasing. By smaller I mean 5x7
maximum. Again, I think it depends on one's judgement and probably subject.
Some things must be large.

Janet, et al,
I'd prefer larger prints, because i've always thought that anything smaller
than 11 X 14 just isn't worth the trouble of going into the darkroom. What
do others think?

anyone willing to take it on? And I think doing a postcard
would simplify it, certainly would be easier to mail out. I'm
willing to do a larger print if that's what you all prefer.
Thoughts?
