Re: Interest in another large print exchange?
Thank you Tom OC!?
?
As the person who started the B&W print exchange in April 2002 and has participated in every exchange since then, no one has contributed and received more prints than you.? I don't know what your solution has been to the print storage issue, but your dedication to the print exchange has always been an inspiration to me.
?
Age wise, I'm almost a decade behind you.? With some luck, I hope to follow your example to make and share prints for many years to come.

Re: Interest in another large print exchange?
Not for me, I am afraid. It is getting tougher to handle and store. If I change my mind, I will let you know Cheers Jayanand On Fri, Jan 17, 2025 at 8:47?PM Gary via <bensonga=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: Interest in another large print exchange?
I knew you'd be in for the large exchange Mike.? :-)
?
"Keep the best and burn the rest."? That's a motto my wife Kathleen would endorse, but I know I could never embrace it.? I'd better not let her hear about this or I might come home someday to find a bonfire of prints in progress.? :-(

Re: Interest in another large print exchange?
HI Gary, Please count me in for the large print exchange. Also I don't want to upset anyone, but my solution to the storage is just to keep the great prints (IMO) and burn the rest including my own where they don't make the cut. I probably keep 5 - 10% Best, Mike On Fri, 17 Jan 2025 at 15:17, Gary via <bensonga=[email protected]> wrote:

Interest in another large print exchange?
In the past few months many of us have noted the challenges of storing both the regular and large size prints.
?
With that in mind, I like to get a sense of how many might participate in a large print exchange this year. We normally do the large print in the February/March, so I would be posting the sign-up for it in just a couple weeks.?
?
We will of course have a regular letter/A4 size print exchange in February/March.
