Re: More info on Print Exchange requested

2001-10-02 by Martin Wesley

William,

A print exchange is simply a group of photographers, 30 seems to be 
the favorite size, who decide to trade prints with each other. Each 
person chooses one of their images and makes 30 identical prints. All 
30 packages of 30 prints are mailed to one person with return 
packaging and shipping. The prints are then shuffled into 30 stacks 
which contain a print from each of the participants and shipped back 
out.

Whoever acts as the moderator or coordinator and does all the sorting 
gets nominated for sainthood.

Since examples of digital B&W are hard to get to see at this point in 
time, this has been a wonderful way to show everyone what is being 
done and to add to your photographic collection.

At the moment an exchange is finishing up and no new ones are in the 
works. Just keep checking and I am sure another one will come round.
