Michael Arrington’s Article over at Techcrunch about the Photomagazine „JPG Mag“:
They are doing so many things right. The fact that the community decides what photos end up in each issue has resulted in a ton of activity on the website. Photographers are uploading their best work to showcase their stuff - if a photo gets picked for the magazine it’s just icing on the cake for them. Finally, every issue of the magazine is available, free, as a PDF download. More print magazines should be doing similar things to embrace an online community instead of just copying their print content to their website. Periodic news magazines have no chance over the long run against their own online competitors. But magazines like JPG Mag, which people want to keep and display over the long run, can be successful. If they come up with the right way to bridge the online and offline worlds.
The latest issue covers:
What do photographers see when we shoot ourselves? In our Self-Portraiture theme, you’ll find 26 photographers’ takes on themselves, plus an interview with Noah Kalina on his eternal self-portraiture project, 10 tips for better mirror shots from Heather Champ of The Mirror Project, and a conversation with Michelle Howley on Self Portrait Day.
I just downloaded it and the magazine features some really nice photos. Maybe you want to try it out (and don’t forget: it is free!)
