Just wondering as I was out surfing rasterized images and stumbled on the JPG Magazine who is doing a contest for rasterbated photos.
Many of the photogs submiting (all categories) on that site are insanely creative, way out of the box stuff... My kind of photography (when I grow up that is).
Does anyone get this magazine or is a member of the site? It just looks plain cool to me.
Warning: Not for Creativity Flatliners nor for the Worksafe paranoid as there might be an artistic nekkid photo here or there.

I joined there a while ago. I did it for the free issue to see what they're all about, but stick around to see if I'll get lucky and get published a few times. :)

I submit stuff, also trying to get published. A few other Team Suckers do, too.

I just found issues of JPG for sale in Urban Outfitters of all places. $1.90 for the Apr-May 2007 issue and $5.99 for the Jun-Jul 2007 issue. Got an additional 50% on that since there having a sale.
Cool stuff in the mags. Might go for a subscription.

I am a member at JPG too, although I haven't submitted anything for several issues. Each new issue is available (full) in pdf form as a download off their site - no need to buy it at all. I believe the download available is only for the current issue (can't download back issues) and only for a limited time, just after publication.
But if you sign up with them (free), they will email you announcing the release of each issue. |

Great mag, I've only gotten one issue but I'm going to subscribe when I get some money.
I submitted one for America, but they didn't like it. |

Good to know. Thanks.

Has a nice "open source" attitude to it.
Cool to read articles that aren't just pimping the newest gear or tech - like an article on Holgas a couple issues ago.
Should get a subscription to support it.
As an aside, I think After Capture has gotten better since the first couple of issues. |

| I just joined June 19 and submitted a photo in hopes of winning a free subscription and maybe get published one day. There are definately alot of talented people out there and they do the out box photos which I find to be refreshing. |

Looks like issues 7-10 are available as PDF. I tried 1-6, but they only have links to the Lulu purchase site. This offers a printed version for $19.99 and a download for $1.86. Expensive for print. Not bad for the download.

I just subscribed and recently submitted a photo in the "Creative License" challenge along with BeckyT. You can still enter and there are prizes this time! :D I don't expect to win but you never know... :)
The site is very clean and uncluttered. It's all about the photos. No message boards. I got one of the magazines and I was wildly impressed at the quality. I love looking through the photos too. They are eye opening! Not a lot of heavy handed photo editing and when you see some of the photos, it's pretty amazing. Of course, there are the really bad ones, too. :) |

A bit of interesting backstory regarding JPG Magazine and its founders (and why issues 1-6 are not posted on the website).

Wow! Thanks mk!
Holy cow! I didn't realize THAT happened! That is very sad. Success seems to corrupt so many. I hope the site doesn't become a seed of greed.
I prefer DPC anyway, but it's fun to see what other art sites are doing. |

Wowsa. That's just viscious. I'm astonished.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear some disgruntled JPG fan getting Paul's address and taking retribution. (Not that I condone such actions.)

Before we all fire up the BBQ to roast anyone, let's read what the other side has to say. Like, for example, Paul's wife
I don't know any of the players, but I do know that reading only one side of any dispute is treacherous.

That's kind of a disappointing "other side." She doesn't seem to say much other than "I'm Paul's wife and those guys are liars."
I don't know any of them either and I don't really care. I do think it's unfortunate that the original owners feel slighted by what essentially seems to be big business. I'm sure we'd all be disappointed if D&L partnered with someone who took over and made them feel they had to leave for whatever reasons. It just changes the feeling. |

I had the thought of making that comparison, but thought I might get drawn and quartered for it.
What I think sucks is that he created the idea of a magazine based on community and lost control of it due to agreeing to a bad business arrangement. Then it bit him in the ass and someone else will get to expand and profit from his vision.
Landon, don't you dare sell your soul like that! ;)

Isn't there a problem with submitting full size pics?
lets say you submit and the picture gets nowhere. It will annoy me to know that someone els has the full size copy of the pic (I might want to use the pic someplace els, or what's to stop them using the pic?) |

Uck!
I have a two year subscription to JPG for all sorts of reasons - innovative crowd, cool ideas, sense of community, inspiration and sometimes just the plain weirdness of it all. To hear that the soul of the machine has been ripped out sickens me as, having spent 25 years in cyberspace, from ARPA/DARPA/JANET days through to today the one thing that makes it feel right is the community spirit, the diversity of "tribes" that have flourished. Communities always need founders, guiding spirits and visionaries and while communities will evolve and "metamorphosise" over time, you hope that it is a mutual respect thing. When it isn't, then it never truly bodes well.
Sorry about the rant but this one hurt. |

Wow! I have read both sides and it sounds like an unfortunate situation has broken up what used to be good friends. Hopefully I won't regret submitting one of my photos for publication. I will just have to wait and see. Thank you for posting the other side. |

Read the legal stuff. Your rights are explained when you sign up.
What's to stop them? The legal agreement, the pain you could cause if they abuse the agreement, and the fact, most especially, that the magazine lives and dies on the trust of its submitters.
Many contests require you to submit large images. For example, a landscape contest I entered required 8 x 10 prints.
As to your particular concern about reuse, you retain all rights:
Contributors to JPG keep all their rights, and do not have to license their work in any particular way. By contributing your photo, you simply give us the right to display the photo online, and print it if chosen.

And some of the contests I've seen are not so easy. I've seen local competitions where you pretty much give up your rights to any copyright at all.

Yep! Hence my first sentence: read the legal stuff. :)
