Greetings all,

Another print exchange is being conducted and we need members. We have 4, and we'd like 10. Anyone interested in joining, please apply to sign up at the following Google group:
http://groups.google.com/group/psgpx
I have it set up as a Google group so I can easily control the number of participants at a max of 10.

I hope we'll get more participants, as it is always rewarding to share work with fellow enthusiasts, and there really isn't anything like a deadline, and chance to learn from what others do, to get the creative juices flowing. For tinkerers like me, having a point to my time in the darkroom is always helpful.

Here's a description of the exchange's rules and schedule:

Any silver gelatin based image up to 8x10 can be entered. Prints are due Vernal Equinox*, or March 20, 2009. Each participant will edition his/her print to the number of participants - in otherwords, if there are 8 of us in the group, each participant will make 8 prints (an extra print or two for unforeseen circumstances is always welcome). Each participants will mail their entire edition to me (at the address below) and will include postage** in (or over) the amount required to mail the package to me. I will collate and assemble packages for distribution to the members. This will make it so the prints can be be presented uniformly (and hopefully attractively) to the whole group, and the group will have the opportunity to enjoy the experience all at once - it also saves on packaging and shipping.

** International participation is not discouraged. We can work something out.

Thanks,

Elias Roustom
