Morrisseeee

definitely Borderfox

.....I didn't know Keith had a photo in the exhibition ! unless it was added after the launch. I wonder is it the photo of Keith's horse by ThOnda..... mmmm. Great photo BTW !

Valentia

If I had a brain I'd be dangerous. I wont make it I'm afraid. I'm in a play on Saturday night.

Well done to everyone involved.

Calina, don't forget to take that picture with you ;-)

rahtkennades

Hi there,

if there's no other offers, I'll do the opening slot Saturday (though my head might be a bit poorly!). Not sure how to arrange to collect keys though; Cabansail, do you work in town by any chance?

I'll be in for 5 to collect my print, will be running to the pub for 5.30pm to watch the rugby though!!!

Cheers

I cant make it on Saturday at any time, much as though I'd like to. What are the options on picking up after the weekend. Or Calina, would you mind holding on to it and I can collect from you directly - I'm in the South Dublin area.

PS what happened to the Auction / for charity. I think I said mine could go in to that.

Kazi / 4sb

CabanSail

The Auction was going to be at the Opening Night, but with so much else going on it sort of just fizzled out.

If you want to leave prints at DCC then they can be picked up on a Tuesday night meeting. They can be stored for a short while, but not indefinitely. Just let Calina know what you want done.

nilhg

I'm not going to get up on Saturday, if somebody is coming Kildare way could they bring my three prints and I'll collect them, if not if anybody is going to the Mike Brown talk on Thursday maybe they could bring my prints to that?

If all that fails I'll PM CabanSail to arrange to get them collected.

Again thanks to all who put such great work into this exhibition, it was a pleasure to get up for the opening and my daughter was highly impressed with it when she popped in one afternoon.

trishw78

Fionn (Tom) or anyone else that I'm collecting prints for could you give me a brief description of the shots I bringing back for you.

I'm based in the Sunny South East incase anyone else needs me to bring work back down on Saturday for you.

Ta

Calina

I know which of the hanging prints are Fionn's. If he had more than 2 prints submitted I don't know what the others are.

CabanSail, we might bring the others down to the gallery for those dropping in to collect - would there be any objections to that?

rahtkennades if you can open that would be great.

If you collect mine please, (snowy stream), I could meet you in the Sunny SE some time next week or the week after !

Hi Nilhg,
I'm probably gonna be working in down at the Pipers Hill school in Naas towards the middle of next week by the looks of things. I'm going to try to get to the closing on saturday evening for a couple of scoups, however if I don't I'll pick up your prints from DCC on tuesday and meet you on wednesday if that suits both of us.

AnimalRights

Can I collect my pictures in the frame?
I can collect anytime.

What is it they say about Great Minds (or Fools)?

I took the pile of prints that were not accepted & put them in the Gallery last Tuesday.

It's the 'extra' ones I'm not sure about

No problem was it just the one print or is there others?

Morrisseeee

Just the one thanks. PM you next week.

ThOnda

I am sorry for being so passive now, but there are more important issue on my agenda now. I cannot come on Saturday - doing workshop on fashion photography. My picture was already sold, but I do not know if the new owner is going to collect both his and mine picture.

hey Trish
the two that were picked were Rock of Cashel and Barbed Wire with sheeps wool and the Comeraghs in the background.
and the the third one that wasn't picked is - two men having a pint of Guinness
I'll send you a pm re: collection from you!! thanks.

While i'm here I would like to once again express my gratitude to everyone that made this happen special mention to Calina who dreamed it up and worked tirelessly to bring it to fruition and to CabinSail for facilitating and contributing to the organising of this - well done and many thanks!
I regret that i wasn't able to attend myself, but my son did manage to get in and commented very favourably on the whole setup!

dakar

I had hoped to be able to make the grand finale, but unfortunately now I can't (stupid working the stupid bank holiday weekend grrrrrr). I will be in Dublin for the June Bank Holiday though, if somone Dublin based could kindly hold onto my prints for me, I could pick them up them.

Alternatively, if you want rid of them, I can paypal the cost of P&P (don't really want to put anyone to the hassle of having to wrap them up though!)

Failing both of the above, auction them off to the higest bidder at the closing and we'll find a charitable home for the cash:).

sineadw

I'll hopefully be in from around 4 tomorrow. I can give a hand with whatever's needed

Calina

This is so cool.

Okay, see a bunch of you tomorrow.

rabalder

Thonda,
I dont know if pete has been in touch with you?
Anyhows, I'll be collecting your print and his, so if someone could give me some details of what time is good, i'll be there!

rabalder

hey, ive just did some reading through the thread here. I'll be down around 5pm to collect the prints on Pete4130 behalf. see you then!

Do you know if Pete sold his print?

leinsterman

I'll pop in around 12:10 to drop off something for Calina ... sorry I can't make the tear down beers ... but in the (slightly modified) words of Bill Shankly -

The great and sadly missed man himself - Bill wrote:

"Rugby is not just a matter of life and death: it's much more important than that"

... apologies to Bill for the slight change!!

Calina

Yep, tomorrow's match is of life importance, agreed.

I'll be in around 2 myself, I hope. May have to run to Gunns for a few more filters.

5pm is take down and yeah, I believe Pete's photograph is accounted for.

PaulieC

if I come in in the afternoon can I collect both of mine ? (one displayed and one not selected). otherwise I'll collect on Tuesday night

AnimalRights

Same as Cambo, can I collect tomorrow?
Can't make Tuesdays.

CabanSail

Is Rugby the one with the round or oval balls?

RoryW

Enjoy the final day tomorrow and the take down beers

Unable to make it as I have temporarily fled the country (back Monday:P)

Nisio

No wind for windsurfing today ( ) so I might call in around 12 to pick up prints

Hugh_C

Hiya, I've been tied up and haven't/won't be able to make it in. What's the story on prints that were rejected and not displayed? How/when can they be collected?

Thanks Hugh

mobileblog

Nice work guys. Glad I just caught it on the last day. The prints look great.

Calina

Time flies etc etc. It's all gone. Never to be again, at least not in that form.

Bunch of photographs have gone to their homes. A load more have not. They will be in Dublin Camera Club on Tuesday evening, after that they will need to be collected from me with some urgency. So if you have a photograph or several that needs collecting, either come to the gallery Tuesday evening or contact me to collect. Soon.

I want to thank a bunch of people:

CabanSail, leinsterman, bovril, rahtkennades, Valentia, sineadw, DarrenG, 4sb, trishw78 and AnimalRights all of whom did gallery duty during the six weeks. Thanks a million. You have no idea how much that helped.

CabanSail who liased with Dublin Camera Club and made a lot of things very, very easy for us. He also helped hang the exhibition on Day 1 and laughed at me when Ireland won the Grand Slam.

DeV, Darragh, Dav and the crew at boards.ie who were dead helpful with things like announcements and a little bit of sponsorship at a material time.

stctc who did the prints for pretty much everyone.

A load of people whom I've already thanked earlier for helping with the early organisation, including Sebzy and Fajitas! in particular.

CabanSail and I hung the exhibition. trishw78, rahtkennades, bovril, jaqian and I took it down today. On opening night, trishw78 and ThOnda washed the wine glasses. This was much appreciated

More than anything, we wouldn't be here without all the photography submissions. I no longer have a full list to hand (which is a pity because then I could track you down to give back the pictures) but for everyone who submitted something, thank you very much. Thank you very, very, very much.

AnimalRights

I forgot to collect mine today!
I think I have 3 frames, 2 that were hung and 1 that er wasn't!
I work Tuesday nights but can collect them off you somewhere else?

gary82

Well done to all! Unfortunately I never made it over to the east coast. Would it be possible to have an online version of the exhibition now? Maybe a Flickr set?

gandalf

Sorry Calina, didn't make it in to collect the photos. What time on Tuesday are you there or I can arrange to meet up with you and collect them at some later stage?

DeVore

You should all be proud of what you achieved, speaking from the Boards POV, we have been very proud to be associated with it. Well done all...

So, what next?

DeV.

pete4130

MY friend Eithne collected the Chairs print that was hanging, my leaf print which wasn't used in the exhibition and Thonda's horse print. One of my prints was left behind, and I can't even remember what my 3rd one was at this stage? I'll send Steve a PM and ask him what my 3rd print was so I can arrange for it to be collected. If it's too much trouble Calina can keep it as a thankyou gift if she likes.

Thanks, Pete.

Dodgykeeper

Couldnt make it in yesterday was at the game, the expo started and ended with two huge rugby matches!

What time on tuesday can the pics be collected!

ThOnda

I would like to thank everybody involved, especially all people who took the weekend duties.

Calina

I will be in Dublin Camera Club at around 7.40 on Tuesday evening. Please remember DCC has a regular meeting on Tuesday and we cannot disrupt this so if you are collecting on Tuesday please be there around then.

For those who cannot collect on Tuesday I will be in Dublin this weekend and am thinking of a trip to the Botanic Gardens. Anyone who wants to collec then is welcome to do so.

Anyone else, please give me an idea of where you are and we will come to some arrangement.

sineadw

I'll be in on Tuesday Calina - sorry I didn't make it in for the take down. Just didn't feel up to it at all, and my phone was robbed so I didn't have numbers (cue small violin.. )

Calina

It's okay.
Des and I went and wept into our drinks watching the match afterwards.

Made it in by the skin of my teeth on Saturday (yes, shame on me for not having gone sooner). I had most of my family with me (5/6 of us were there) and I must report that the exhibition was just mega! Thoroughly enjoyed by everyone from the youngest to myself and my wife.

Congratulations to everyone who submitted a picture. Those hanging were a credit to the craft and represented the broad user spectrum of this humble forum particularly well. The amount of talent on display was just stunning. I understand the 'foot fall' figures were extremely impressive too. Indeed it is a shame that all good things have to come to an end.

In the face of such talent on display it may be unfair to single out any particular print and indeed I had mighty trouble in picking a top 3 but ThOnda's horse image was picked by all 5 of us in their favourites of the show.

Absolutely mighty guys. Well done to all. A big thank you to everyone that was involved in some way.

Calina - you are just wonderful to have seen it through to the success that it was. Simple as that. Take a (virtual) bow - well deserved. I and i'm sure all forum users appreciate how much of your own time was placed into this project. The end product was well worth it.

I got to meet Trish there too which was nice to put a face on the username. Special respect to Dublin Camera Club also for enabling the whole thing to happen through their physical presence. I'm plenty sure that there are many demands on the gallery time and big kudos to them for devoting so much of the available Saturdays to this forums exhibition.

I've already gone on for too long but a BIG thank you to everyone involved.

Oh and one final thing - my wife had the comment of the day regarding Dodgykeeper's hanging print. She reckoned it was easy to tell he (Dodgykeeper) was a sports shooter - he obviously managed to focus on two big balls! Enough said.

Cheers.

GristlyEnd

I will be at the club meet tomorrow and will collect my prints then. Sorry I couldn't make it to the take down.

CabanSail

Tomorrow night there is an Exhibition Launch at DCC. This is the new exhibition that replaces the Boards one. It's a collection of images from India by Paul Ryan & Mary Donoghue. There will be a few glasses of wine being offered, so if you are picking up prints then come & be socialble too.

Yes I now know what you look like as well as Leinsterman although I'm sure half the country now knows what Leinsterman looks like after his screaming preformance in Croker on Saturday.

"so you still think you've a chance" I asked him when I picked up my prints at 1 and then Munster lose and he's up on the big screen.

Big thanks to everyone involved in making the exhibition happen and for the feedback on the images I submitted
