An Unfortunate Event

JPG Magazine is closing its doors on January 5, 2009.  They are a victim of the current econcomy and just can't get the cash to keep things going. This really too bad. 

In case you are unfamiliar with JPG Magazine, it is a publication composed entirely of user created photography.  It's like Flickr, but in print and I think the quality of work tends to be a little higher.  I'm personally disappointed because I had made it a goal for 2009 to have some piece of work published in the magazine, whether it be a photo or an article.  That goal will be crossed off and I'll have to find a new one now. 

You can still download all the back issues in PDF format here: Archives

You might also want to pull together your contacts from JPG and see if they are elsewhere for you to keep in touch.  I just finished going through my contacts and adding them as Flickr contacts and bookmarking web sites.
