Dear Ravi & Vikas,
Thanks for organising the wonderful print meet yesterday! One of the best, I guess. A few snippets from the meet are here below.

Pardon me for the ghost rendering in images - I blame it on panorama software on my phone. I am sure Ravi and others have better images.
It was great to meet all of you. Nice to see Vidyun and Vihaan enjoying and discussing nuances of printing! I could see a smile on Vidyun's face holding his own WPY young photographer of the year award print made by Nevil. Thanks again Nevil for sending us the wonderful prints.
Thanks to Ramesh, Prashanth, Shankar Kiragi, Raj and Nagraj for sharing their fine prints.
I enjoyed Ramesh's new set of B&W prints, well presented in cost effective frames. Raj's manual contact prints from large format was interesting. I would love to see some larger prints next time if possible. Prashanth's subtle prints from Bharatpur made me nostalgic. Shankar Kiragi shared his wonderful very creative prints made using different colored papers and cutting and joining prints made using different colored papers.
I think this is very unique! Thanks for sharing, Shankar.
I enjoyed small elegant B&W print collection shared by Nagraj.
Overall we had a great print meet!
Considering the unique body of work we have as a forum, Ramesh also made a suggestion do a CNP print exhibition of about 50 prints (to be curated by an artist/photographer who is not a member of CNP) in some reputed galleries like (CKP/NGMA/others), may be every year. Prashanth also mentioned this small exhibition may be hosted in different cities/small towns.
CNP editorial team may further discuss this and count on others help to realise this in the future (may be 6months+ from now)..
We encourage more people to print (even small prints which can be cost effective). If you don't have a good printing services in your own town/city we may help you connect you with a printing service provider (whom some of us regularly use here in Bangalore) to get your prints done and get it shipped to you.
Looking forward to the next print meet. Madhav has already volunteered to share his prints!!
