Hi everyone.
Are you ready for a second swap this year??
In our first swap we managed to send a few prints around the world, last one in was two beautiful prints by Paul that arrived in my mailbox just a couple of days ago. For me the exchange was very positive. My print was clearly not optimal, but friendly advice helped me to improve it radically, so personally I came very well out of it.
So for the second one.
I suggest we sign up for this one by posting comments to this post. Deadline is December 1. So if it is a bad time for you, and you can’t participate for this one, just say so in a comment. I would also welcome our new member, Manuele. I’m looking forward to see one of your prints.
So, as soon as you can after the deadline, please send your prints to everyone that takes part in the swap. Remember, the print can be one you want feedback on, one you can’t quite get, or just one you’re proud of. One print is the requirement, but if you want to send more, that’s ok, but don’t overdo it.
Also, if anyone manage to recruit another member before the deadline, just speak up. Still room for one more.
Count me in. I’m already trying to decide which print to send.
ready to go.
I received Paul’s prints this week. I’ll comment on one of the prints here if that is OK.
The 2 leaves with the bight in focus area show something that I don’t seem to capture in a print very often. The leaves seem to glow, the paper is the source of the light. Well I know that is not the case but the print is very interesting and I am going to keep it on my board for a while longer and give it more thought.
I too felt that way about the two red leaves. Even if the room is very dark, the print seems to glow anyway.
Hey! I’m a little late, have been quite busy these past days and haven’t checked the blog for a while. But I’m in for the swap!
The only thing is that I will proceed between the first and the second week of december because of a bank issue that should be solved next week. I’ll do everything as soon as possible though!
(thanks Kjell for mailing me!)
