Photography swap

[AntZ]

I personally would rather get a photo through the mail rather than email and "if I have the time" print it myself.

I would love to get a photo, signed by a fellow member.

I personally think the extra work and effort put in to it makes it worth that much more.

I can understand cost..but to send an 8x10 isn't that expensive. I think framing photos wouldn't be nescessary as stated prior..we all have our own framing style.

I was thinking of digital signature, but how cool would a real signed photo be I'd be stoked to have something like that hanging on my wall.

I'll have a look at pricing to send to/from Oz. Obviously there are others too outside Canada.

My only fear would be taking something someone would want to hang on their wall. Especially in a given time frame.

I absolutely agree that a real print with real signature would be great. And I would definitely opt in to that- sounds like a blast! Secret santa kinda one of a kind artwork, would be festive, fun and very special.

I'm okay with a real print also, was just thinking about costs overseas...would be kind of a cool thing to do for the Holiday season.
So who wants to set this up?
I am willing to help out someway if need be.....

Pick your favourite shot from the last year.

BTW I have photos hanging in some of the nicest outhouses around :-)

Well. This months theme is portrait landscape. That is something that is our place and represents who and where we are.

Why don't we use that theme. We can set the end date for just after December. I can start a thread where we can post our best from the month..the one you will send. Names can then be drawn and those who picked a person will get their address on their own. No need to post that for all to see.

Or..if all would like. We can pick a theme, no theme, send what you like. Yadda yadda.

I'm a little more partial to a subject of your favorite shot/best image of 2009 as per Greg.
Makes it a little more personal in my mind.
Is that okay?

Sounds good to me. Now how do you pick one

Ha ha..thought everyone!


I'll make a new thread as soon as we agree on a theme

My two cents is I don't think restricting it to a singular theme will work that easily. I agree on the best/favourite image idea. But I also think that the recipient should have some choice (especially if they do end up framing it and hanging it on a wall) so we might also condsider creating a shortlist of favourite images that the recipient chooses from? I'm really thinking I'd hate to force my choice on another who may have completely different taste.

I'm also wondering for all you peeps who have nice printers at home and hahnemule paper and all that fancy stuff. What about a guy like me who lives out of town and only printer within a 10 mile radius is walmart. How much would a good 8x10 cost me at a print shop on good paper in town? I wouldn't want to shortchange my recipient with a print from a kodak kiosk really.

My 8x10 at a great printer store costs around $8.

Keep the input coming in..sounds great!
