Dear All,
Here is the rules for traveling portfolio. If you have decided that you will
participate, please let me know as soon as possible:
The rules are actually taken from those of the previous portfolio with the
following changes:
1. Deadline for submission is January 22nd, 2001 (Monday).
2. There is no theme for this portfolio, so you can choose any subject/image
that you like.
3. Because of some requests, we might change the mailing to use one with
tracking in order to prevent loss.

Basic Idea
The basic idea is to gather prints (alternative processes only) and circulate
them in a portfolio that is mailed around. Currently the circulation is only
within the United States of America.
Goal
- to experience work in a way that downloaded images cannot match
- to see what other people are doing
- to provide topics for discussion
Dates
1/22/2001 (Mon.) deadline for print submission ; also deadline for
request to be a viewer
Circulation
The portfolio will be circulated first among "contributors" (those who
submitted prints to the portfolio), then among "viewers" (those who do not
submit any print but request to see the portfolio). The number of viewers
will be limited. After the portfolio completes the circulation, the prints
will be sent back to the contributors.
Submission Requirement
There is no theme for this portfolio. You can submit any image/subject/theme
you like. The print must be done in one of the alternative processes.
Once you indicate that you will participate in a portfolio, you will receive,
through email, the mailing address where you should send your print.
Print Specification
- printed with alternative process
- any size up to 11x14 inches (absolute maximum including borders)
- unmounted
- up to two prints per round per portfolio
Label some place with contact information:
- name (some email addresses are very different from actual names!)
- email address
- phone number (optional)
- address (optional)
Also label some place with print information:
- process
- paper
- optional and if applicable: sizing, pigment, number of coats, formula, or
other information you would like to include
Remember to send a self-addressed, stamped envelop for returning your prints.
Risks
Send nothing irreplacable. These pictures will be subject to loss in the
mail, and much handling. There is no guarantee that it will arrive back in
good shape, or arrive back at all.
Copying
Note that you should *not* copy these works. If you want a copy, contact the
original printer of the work.
Mailing List and Web Site
The traveling portfolio has a mailing list for the discussion of images in
the portfolio. To subscribe to the mailing list, please send your
subscription request to altphoto-exchange-request@opusis.com with the line
"subscribe" (without the quotation marks) in the message body.
The traveling portfolio also has a web site showing the images from the
current portfolio. The address of the site is

Circulating Prints and Tracking
After the prints are gathered, the portfolio, along with a circulation list,
will be sent out to the first person on the list. The recipient should:
- Send a note to the traveling portfolio mailing list notifying the receival
of the portfolio.
- Keep the portfolio for at most a week (less is appreciated).
- Sends comments upon it to the mailing list.
- Send a note to the mailing list upon sending the portfolio to the next
person in the circulation.
Each person is responsible for paying postage to send the portfolio to the
next person in the list.
