Photography Question

Slides for art show


Help! I plan on submitting for a juried art competition in Biloxi later this summer. They require 3 slides of my work. I have no film capability, so I can't do my own slides. I don't want to have just anyone do them, as accurate color representation is critical. What have you done to meet this requirement?
Thanks
John

  And.......yet another reason NOT to go digital rears its ugly head.

So John, are you in need of slides from prints or from digital images? If from prints, then rent a 35mm camera with an appropriate lens, get a book called photographing art work for reproduction and rig the shots so you can photograph them (including a color card in the shot).

OR if from digital images, find a lab like http://www.isgophoto.com or http://www.gammaphoto.com that can generate film from copying a digital image. Both labs do pre-press work for pros and should be able to help you out.

Take it light.
