JPG Magazine issue #6 now available

Hot off the presses: JPG Magazine Issue 6: Oops!

There’s magic in mistakes. There’s something special in the spontaneous. Because it’s in those moments when photography becomes more than just a document. It becomes something real.

This issue of JPG is about your best "Oops!" photos. Whether it was faulty settings, old film, the random photo on the last frame of film, or the last photo a camera ever took, this issue features some of the finest slip-ups, freak-outs, and happy accidents ever captured on film or pixels.

We’re also joined by featured photographer Rion Nakaya, who shares some of her favorite serendipitous moments, and Ryan Gallagher, to talk about camera toss photography.

We photographers can’t help being detail-oriented. We notice things. Our eyes can’t help but frame reality. It’s what we do. But it’s always good to be reminded that control is an illusion, and sometimes the best photos are the ones that sneak up on you.

Plastic Fantastic toy camera magazine: R.I.P.

Nicolai Grossman Leave a comment

filmwasters member Out of Contxt (Bill Vaccaro) writes:

Eric Hathaway, editor of Plastic Fantastic magazine, has sent out a letter informing subscribers that it is ceasing publication effective May 1 [2006]. To summarize his letter, they couldn’t cut it fanancially and it was personally bleeding Eric dry.

From hindsight, some of the factors that led to PL’s demise are obvious: lack of a sustainable subscriber base and lack of outside revenue sources (ads). I know Eric was insistent that, apart from the Holgamods‘ ad on the back cover, that the magazine be ad-free. And I’m not knocking his decision to do so either. It’s takes a lot of courage to do what Eric attempted to do. And for that, I am eternally grateful.

In any case, I’m truly sorry to see it go. I know it was a labor of love for Eric and I’ll really miss getting my issues at my doorstep every few months. I always felt there was room for more than one publication devoted to toy cams. Damn shame.

The plasticfantasticonline.com site is already down. Update your links pages and break out the black armbands.
