“JPG Magazine is for people who love imagemaking without attitude. It's about the kind of photography you get when you love the moment more than the camera. It's for photographers who, like us, have found themselves online, sharing their work, and would like to see that work in print.”

Derek Powazek and Heather Champ are incredibly creative people. Derek is the founder of Fray, “a magazine about true stories,” and Heather founded The Mirror Project.

Now, Derek and Heather have launched JPGmagazine, a terrific display of photographs published in an easy format for fraction of the cost thanks to Lulu.

“Lulu provides independent publishers with free access to on-demand publishing tools for books, e-books, music, images and calendars.”

The first issue of JPGmagazine is ORIGIN. The second issue, LOST, just closed its submissions. When it is time for issue number 3, I'll be sure to let you know. Meanwhile, please support this great project.

AK47.tv, an online art photography magazine has just launched its seventh issue. Check out Snapshots, William Greiner‘s portfolio. Juicy stuff!

Sending images across to your friends and family have always been a major pain in the you-know-where. I use YouSendIt to send large files, zipped or unzipped to my clients. Even today, as I attempted to use that service, my machine choked and I had to split the delivery into seven separate packages. Not fun.

Well, just as I was lamenting about this to a colleague at work, I saw Robert Scoble's short post about PhotoLeap.

I have yet to try this service – there are options for free, plus and pro – but from a cursory look I think it holds a lot of promise for both PC and Macintosh users.

It just may make my life easier when clients come-a-calling for me to ship them images and neither my ISP nor theirs will cooperate. Try it out and let me know what you think.
