Thanks for the recent welcome messages.? I have been champing at the bit to sign up and participate.? I'm printing the color image now.

I have a question about the B/W image.? Are toned (eg sepia) images allowed or strictly B/W required?

Thanks,

Rick??

Re: SIGNUP for the JUNE/JULY Bi-Monthly Print Exchanges

 

Firstly a warm welcome to Rick and Joshua.

Ok I have figured out the strategy for increasing participation in the
exchange ...
I had sent 10 colour and 11 B&W for the June/July exchange with my
April/May submission to make sure I was not late, for a change, for
the next exchange.
That seemed enough copies based on recent participation, back up plan
was to post another copy or two if needed.

Clearly I should send 15 each for the August / September exchange and
more people will sign up to prove my forecast incorrect :)

Fun to see new participants, can't wait to see the prints.

Best,
Mike
