JPG Magazine

via antoinegirard.com:

They’re called “photobloggers” – a sloppy term for sloppy times. They’re people who, armed with cameras ranging from cheap to expensive, film to digital, wander the streets documenting their world and posting the results to the web.

In another time they would have been called artists. Personal documentarians. But we have a simpler word for them: Photographers.

JPG Magazine is for photographers like us who fall somewhere in between the strict definitions of “amateur” and “professional.” People who, enabled by new technology that makes imagemaking and self-publishing easier than ever, have fallen in love with photography and sought out others with the same passion.

We’re here to embrace the joy of photography without any attitude. We don’t care about what you shoot or how. We’re not purists of any stripe. We just love photography – images that challenge, explore, captivate, and surprise.

    I wonder if the world were allowed to vote how much support the Green Party would get, given their considerable inroads in Europe.

    I look forward to the results, but I wish they had used different graphics — the giant US flag over world landmarks says “territorial claims” more than “world citizens” to me.

    -There already is a United States of the World. It’s called the UN. And if it had the budget it really needed (certain countries, cough cough, owe more than $1B in back payments), and if nations actually agreed to abide by its decisions, it could actually get things done…

    Maybe if we made the UN something more like the EEC – with parliamentary elections and legally binding funding through a form of progressive taxation — it would be a start towards leveling the playing field.

    Hey, and what about China? I think they keep getting forgotten in this “lone superpower” business. They may not be an adversary at the moment, but if they decide they want something, they get it. And in the next 50 years, as they become an even-greater industrial superpower, it’s quite possible the US’ dominance will fade…
