Hey I've joined Scottish Photogs too:-) I do have distant Scottish blood you know.
My nephew once rode/cycled for Wales at the Commonwealth Games and I'm sure he qualified because his father got caught in a queue on the Welsh side of the Severn Bridge for 20 mins . Nice to know I'm not alone in this print dilemma. Quote:

Actually I must confess to using RC paper a lot and do not recycle as it has a plastic coating.
I spent a few minutes thinking about what a photographer could do with prints. It depends on how you interact with other photographers or the public and what support groups you belong to; In no particular order; 1. Print exchanges 2. Hanging on your walls at home 3. Entering competitions in a camera club (if you are in one) 4. Having an exhibition in a gallery or other space 5. Entering national/regional competitions (although many are d*****l only) 6. Showing to people in a club or group as a lecture or discussion evening 7. Entering national or international salons 8. Creating a handmade book 9. Attempting to sell them (never tried that) 10. Join a print circle such as UPP 11. Work toward a distinction such as those of the RPS or PAGB. 12. Send them to magazines and see what happens I have run out of ideas although I am sure there are more. I have tried about half of these (1,2,3,6,11 and 12). Only 2,6 and 11 would I say have been succesful/enjoyable. Regards Les |

Good for you, it's an underused facility on this forum, perhaps because it's a bit cumbersome to use. We are looking for alternative software.

Those that are ny personal work get stored, the best mounted,put on display at home untill I start ton see the faults in them, or get tired of looking at them,at which time I re cycle them, trying to re use what I can of the mounts,and the cycle starts over again, My more commercial work, of course,gets sold,I hope, to happy customers,Richard

There's random piles of them scattered around my flat There's 6 polaroids framed and 4 cyanotypes framed on the walls. Before we moved, we had no picture hanging hooks and now we've filled all of them in the new flat.

My (personal) best are hanging on the wall til they will be replaced by better ones.
The rest are stored in archival boxes until they find an exhibition... Some are scanned for my website, some have been sold! |

Much the same for me, too. I've finally started sorting prints out by time and place ( I mostly do landscape and architecture) and putting them in labelled boxes. I've now also started putting my better prints into sleeves for protection.
My biggest problem is the prints I mounted up for camera club competitions. I've got a loftfull. I do have quite a few framed, but not enough walls to put them on! I've sold a few (surprisingly not the ones I expect may sell!) and I've given several away as presents. If somebody else can get a bit of pleasure from my prints I'm happy! And then there's print exchanges, which means you end up with the same number of prints anyway - just someone else's! Rob |
