  Subject: [Digital BW] UPDATE on JERRY OLSON memorial print exchange *****


  Hi everyone-

  I've received a number of emails from people who would like to
  participate but don't have (or particularly want to shoot) a cat
  photo.

  Point well taken...the idea here is to honor our memory of Jerry with
  a great print, preferably with a perfect black patch somewhere in the
  frame <g>. This is even more meaningful in light of Keith Krebs idea
  to print an extra set to sell at a fund raiser to cover some of the
  costs of preserving as much of Jerry's work as possible.

  Sooooooooooooo...the exchange dates still hold, but CAT PHOTO is only
  SUGGESTED. Again...sign up will be open to everyone through June 2
  and then we will need to make our prints in the next week to 10 days
  and ship them off so we can deliver the set to his mother and the
  gallery in a reasonably timely fashion.

  Keep the sign-ups and ideas coming...please contact me offline with
  the email link above.

  cheers,

  Tom O'Connell

  SPECIAL "JERRY OLSON MEMORIAL" PRINT EXCHANGE

  We have to thank Cleavis for this idea… a memorial exchange for Jerry
  …with a CAT theme SUGGESTED ONLY… He loved his cats, he loved
  printing and exchanges, so a good print with a deep black somewhere
  in it will be quite proper.

  Sign-up will be open until June 2. I will post a notice here and
  email everyone who signs up how many prints to make (1 for each
  participant plus one for his mother and one for a gallery to sell for
  a fundraiser to preserve Jerry's work…You may want to put a note on
  the print for his mother).

  Prints will be due to me (west coast USA) by June 16.

  Typical print exchange guidelines apply:


  * Sign up by EMAILING me using the clicking the link in the "from"
  field above

  * Prints are digital BW on either letter (8x5 x 11) or A4 (European
  equivalent) paper.

  * Prints must arrive on West Coast U.S. by June 16.

  * Prints can be shipped to me any way you like, but must include a
  prepaid return shipping box for either UPS or FEDEX ONLY (new postal
  regulations require in person post office shipping for anything over
  one
  pound and downtown SF postal lines are just too onerous). To save
  money, the return can be via UPS or FedEx ground (but both services
  require that ground shipments strictly be in "you own packaging" not
  the
  2-day air boxes). Include your phone number for either UPS or FedEx.

  * Again…Prints can be BOTH Letter and A4. This is a shipping
  challenge. It is
  imperative that all prints be shipped in a container that will
  accommodate BOTH SIZES of paper since the return will include both
  sizes. The MEDIUM Fedex box fits the SMALL Fedex Box inside for very
  easy return and the SMALL BOX neatly holds both sizes of print. DO NOT
  SEAL THE SMALL BOX... Maybe add a little tissue or newspaper for
  protection. PLEASE FIX THE RETURN LABEL ON THE SMALL BOX SO I DON'T
  MESS UP WHO THE PRINTS GO TO. This would be the method STRONGLY
  PREFERRED for quick easy turnaround. Sending prints in the
  manufacturer's paper box
  WILL NOT WORK... A4 will not fit in letter, nor will letter fit in
  A4. Again, please attach your shipping label correctly to the
  box...this is occasionally critical as it gets confusing sorting.
  (side note: tape is the biggest threat to a print...most new users
  tape waaaaay too much).

  * Prints should all be enclosed in individual glassine/plastic
  holders with a description sheet facing the back (for sorting).
  PLEASE MARK THEM "JERRY OLSON EXCHANGE" (I usually have 3 exchanges
  being shipped at once and I'm easily confused <g>). The print
  protectors are available from many sources, small quantities are for
  sale at inkjetart.com... larger quantities all over the internet. The
  description should include at least: Print title, your name, shooting
  data, printing data. At a minimum this should include printer,
  inkset, software (including print driver/software). Any comments or
  stories on workflow would be very interesting and welcome.

  * Don't forget to sign the print. Jerry was a stickler on this and
  howled at anyone who didn't…he also liked it on the FRONT…something
  that took some argument to get me to go along, but I am now converted
  on this point.
