Sad News for Photographers
by benjaminspell
I just received an email from Laura Brunow Miner the Editor in Chief over at JPG magazine. On January 5th the magazine will be shutting down.
“We’ve spent the last few months trying to make the business behind JPG sustain itself, and we’ve reached the end of the line. We all deeply believe in everything JPG represents, but we just weren’t able to raise the money needed to keep JPG alive in these extraordinary economic times. We sought out buyers, spoke with numerous potential investors, and pitched several last-ditch creative efforts, all without success. As a result, jpgmag.com will shut down on Monday, January 5, 2009.”
It’s sad to see such a creative and user driven website and magazine go under. I hope the best to the staff at JPG and greatly enjoyed the community at jpgmag.com
Archives are available for download over at http://www.jpgmag.com/downloads/archives.html till the 5th.
Anyone know of other community driven photography sites other than Flickr?
best,
Benjamin
I never seem to have any problems with Flickr
