[Leica] Who wants to do another letter-sized print exchange?!

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

Just as an addendum to Richard's LUG Print Exchange, which was conducted
regularly for a few years in the past, those who are interested in doing
digital print exchanges for B&W and/or Colour on a periodic basis can sign
on for the group at the url given below. The signing up for each individual
exchange will be broadcast within the group at regular intervals, with
detailed instructions on how it works. As of now they consist of four
quarterly exchanges every year of A4/Letter size prints, and one yearly
large format exchange of A3 size prints, for each B&W and Colour, making 10
print exchanges in all. They used to be monthly small format exchanges,
which were made once a quarter during the pandemic, due to the difficulty
in getting prints across to the USA by all of us who live in the rest of
the world:

The exchange was started in 2003 when printing neutral B&W on the printers
available at that time was like a dark art, and this was set up as a print
exchange which would double up as a support and learning group, and it has
continued without a break since that year. I have been a member since 2004,
I have learned almost all my printing techniques there, and I have a
collection of over 2000 original prints only from this source. A colour
exchange was added in 2009. Both these exchanges are restricted to digital
inkjet printing.

If anyone is interested, we would love to have you, we are always on the
lookout for new members, and, so, please do sign up.

To get your feet wet, do sign up to the LUG exchange that Richard  has just
announced, and discover the joys of receiving a package of original prints
to sift through. IMHO, it is one of the best ways to enjoy photography!

Cheers
Jayanand
