This morning I woke up to find an email from JPG magazine: it is shutting down on January 5, 2009. This makes me really sad, because they published some great photography (even if they never published any of my pictures *sniff*). In particular, Jill Coleman’s work takes my breath away. 15 of her pictures are also posted here (that link will likely only work for a few days). Reed Young was another photographer I discovered through JPG. In fact, his photo essay on “Las Pajas and the Lucky Haitians” in the Dominican Republic was the reason I bought 1) the last issue of the magazine and 2) my new flash (again, that second link will probably only work for a few days – check them out while you still can).

On the bright side, I guess it’s good that nobody took me up on the offer of free subscriptions to JPG.
