Wrapped, packed, shipped

As always, printing the photos was a challenge in terms of getting the colours, tones, contrast, brightness, and all the blah blah blah that you wanted, that you saw while editing them on screen, just right on paper. I had the print master made test prints twice until we decided that we were good to go. As the printing process was done, we soon prepared to wrap, pack, and ship the prints.

Bubble-wrapping the prints.

Making custom-sized box to contain the prints for shipment.

Loading to send to Jakarta—will soon leave Indonesia for Hanoi, Vietnam.

The Riverscapes IN FLUX project has recently been posted on the Goethe-Institut Hanoi’s website here, though it only highlights the Vietnamese artists.

The exhibition will open on Thursday, 12 April 2012 at Goethe-Institut Hanoi (56–58 Nguyen Thai Hoc) and Vietnam Fine Arts Museum Hanoi (66 Nguyen Thai Hoc).
