Hey Matt,
I'm game. It shouldn't be a problem getting the prints done. Just PM me with the pertinent info.

Just check out the beginning ogf the thread, and I'll get my address to everyone pretty soon.

Since we are back to 8 people it's 7 each of 2 different prints (14 total), and 7 contact sheets.

Kevin, thank you for stepping in for me, that makes me feel much better.

KevinR · Feb 18, 2005

Its my pleasure. And hope everything goes good.

I noticed earlier in the thread that Matt mentioned any size is possible, just in case anyone is planning on going crazy and printing anything bigger than 8x10, could you let us know so Matt would have envelopes big enough to mail it with

Good thought trog. I am just using 8x10 paper for 6x9s so far, maybe a 7x7 depending on what 2nd neg I pick.

Don't worry about it. I get all my shipping supplies at the place I ship from, so it's no big deal. Besides, I'll probably be the one with the biggest prints

santino · Feb 20, 2005

my prints are ready

just have to make the contact prints

aggiezach · Feb 20, 2005

I've got the first 7 ready to go! Just gotta finish the second batch and the contact sheets

So I guess I'm not really that close

Should be ready by thursday!

Okay, package has been sent. Matt, you should get it Wed. or Thurs. It has been shipped USPS Priority.

My prints will be a day or two late going out. :| I printed Saturday night and they didn't dry as quick as I thought they would. I need to make more space between my screens. So they are flattening now so hopefully I can get them out tomorrow.

terri · Feb 28, 2005

I just finished printing yesterday.... :blushing: they need to dry and get flattened out. I had dry-down trauma last week, and had to do a few too-dark ones over.

As long as I get everything out to you by the end of this week, you won't kick me too hard, will ya Matt??? I'm sorry for the delay.

oriecat · Feb 28, 2005

Glad I'm not the only loser, terri :wink:

Here's the rest of the story....my prints dried down dark, and were just not sendable. SO, after listening to me rant about the evils of dry-down and having to re-do them yesterday, my husband decided to torture me with them. I don't think I'm ruining a surprise by confessing the print in question is the one of the bee ride at the fair (you'll see it soon). He has a goofy grin and is flashing a peace sign. When I got out of the shower this morning, there was a bee (dark, unusable) lying on top of my towel. When I got into my car, there was another bee sitting in the driver's seat. :lol:

That's only 2, so there are 5 more that are going to pop up and torment me with their darkness. :mrgreen:

See what I have to put up with??

Anyway, all is well now, but yeah, I AM a loser and the prints are late!! :lmao:

ksmattfish · Feb 28, 2005

Don't worry about it. I was counting on you guys being late, and I'm not quite ready either, although I should be done in the next day or so. lol

aggiezach · Feb 28, 2005

My prints will be late as well... My classes have taken a bit more time than I would like these past few weeks. So mine will ship either friday or saturday! Sorry for the tardiness!
