Shutter Stories Web zine launched

Shutter Stories Magazine has just gone live, featuring interviews with photographers Yasuhiro Ogawa, Jim Zuckerman, Martin Bailey, and Noah Grey. The interviewing is solid, with a good balance of technique, process, and art in general.

As an added bonus, I was pleased to discover that I really like a lot of Jim Zuckerman‘s work. While I usually have a hard time connecting with high fidelity landscape photography, he seem to really know how to work it, turning digital’s shiny smoothness to his advantage.

Happy new years! I’m very happy to finally announce the publication of Blueeyes Magazine’s 14th issue, with incredible new photography from Matt Black and Mikhael Subotzky. Issue 14’s essays document two separate hidden communities linked by each photographer’s passion for connecting our lives to those we may easily lose sight of within the larger global picture.

Curtains for The Pinhole Journal

Gregg Kemp of Pinhole Visions writes:

My copy of the Pinhole Journal arrived this week. I’ve always enjoyed sitting down and taking my time with the Journal. But this issue is special in several ways. Not only are there fresh new images of what people have done with the simple pinhole camera, but this is of course the final issue of the 22 year run of this publication. Volume 22, number 3, and that’s all folks!

A lot of people will miss getting their copies of the Journal in the mail…

Copies are still available, continue reading for details.

Camera Arts magazine subscription, cheap!

For a limited time you can get a year subscription to Camera Arts magazine for $15—which is 65% off the cover price—if you live in the US.

Full details in this PDF, but the basic deal is to use order code N612CAM for normal and X612CAM for gifts when subscribing on their Web site. You can also order by phone at 800-697-7093 and choosing option #4.

This is one of the only photography magazines I bother to read at all as it’s actually about photography rather than gear fetishism and Photoshop tutorials. There’s some great photography in there, which is well printed, as well as actually interesting interviews and articles. By Grapthar’s hammer, what a savings!

Big changes for JPG Magazine

Big changes for JPG! In short: moving to traditional offset printing for better image quality, memberships, voting on submitted images, more themes, and US $100 and a subscription if your work is published.

Their newsletter explains:

Dearest JPGgers,

Exactly two years ago today, JPG Magazine began with a simple mission to honor the amazing work coming out of the online photographic community. Today, six issues later, the humble project that began with a Gmail account and a dream is growing up. Come see!

There’s a lot that’s new, including memberships, more themes, and voting! And there’s even more new with the magazine, including a larger format, more pages, more frequent publishing, and a much lower price tag! And did we mention that, if you’re chosen for publication, you’ll get $100 and a free subscription?

And this is just the beginning. We’ve got big plans. Very soon we’ll be making subscriptions available for the first time, ever. If you’re interested in subscribing (and we hope you are) be sure to sign up and we’ll let you know when they’re available.

Today also marks the opening of submissions for Issue 7! Unlike past issues, this one’s got three themes: Big, Self-portraiture, and Hometown. As usual you can submit one photo to each, but now there’s three, so that’s 300% more chances to get published!

But enough talk. C’mon in. Check out some photos. Vote in the themes. And submit your excellent work now, because Issue 7 closes in two weeks!

It’s been a helluva two years. Thanks for JPGing with us. Keep shooting, baby!
