i am really hoping we can get metro's class in on our end-of-the-year print exchange.
my thoughts are:
-each student will make 20 identical 8x10 prints in their medium of choice (8 students in our class, plus carol, and 10 (?) in metro's, plus tomiko. i'm waiting to hear back from tomiko to double-check)
-on an evening or class period during finals week, we hold a potluck and sign and number prints and put together portfolios
-for anyone who will not be able to attend, i will collect and assemble portfolios
-everyone who is interested must commit, so no student is "wasting" paper providing a print for someone who in turn does not provide one of theirs
i have also toyed with the idea of creating a print-on-demand book with a couple of images from each student in the program. if students were interested, they could buy a $20 printed book representing advanced photographers of the auraria campus (this is perhaps only if the UCD/metro print exchange does not work out).
i will let everyone know whether or not tomiko's class is in so we can all plan on how many prints to make (9 or 20).
i think everyone's work is looking great, and i'm so excited for the thesis show.
