Tree Merge - CPA - Charity Print Auction
I'm re-uploading this image in order to auction a print to help the people of Japan following the recent earthquake and tsunami.
The auction is being run in association with "CPA - CHARITY PRINT AUCTIONS - JAPAN": www.flickr.com/groups/charityprintauctions/
A little bit about the image: Something a bit different. No Photoshop here...just cardboard.
I was aware of things like the splitzers you can buy/make for Lomography cameras so I thought I'd try something similar with my Hasselblad. I put together a makeshift splitzer by cutting some black cardboard to fit in a Cokin holder. Composing through a 45° finder while your camera is upside down is challenging to say the least...
Hasselblad 500c/m, Planar 80mm, Tri-x 400, Cokin P holder and cardboard filter :)
Please leave a comment with your offer. I will also be opening up the bidding to my contacts outside Flickr so will bid by proxy on their behalf where appropriate.
The image is printed at 6"x6" on 8"x10" paper
This is a silver gelatin print and was split grade printed by me (last night), in my darkroom (well...my bathroom) on Kentmere VC Select fine lustre paper. The image above is a scan of the actual print.
I would like to start the bidding at £30 ($50)
The bidding will end on Sunday 27th March at 1900 GMT. At this time, the person who has bid the highest, will donate the winning amount to a legitimate charity involved in the effort for aid for the people of Japan (links to a number of charities below). On proof of donation (please take a screen grab of your donation confirmation page), I will arrange for the print to be made and shipped to you (I'm prepared to ship this worldwide).
I will pay the printing and shipping costs, so all of your donation goes straight to the cause.
