Friday: Blogging and the Photo Community

From NYPH09:

Panel discussion with Cara Philips, Laurel Ptak, Andrew Hetherington, Joerg Colberg, and Brian Ulrich.
May 15, 11 am -12 pm.

This panel promises an open-ended discussion on the current state of the blogging and the photography community, or what I lamely call the “photosphere”. If you think that you have any clue as to what is actually going on in photography today, then you will be hogging a seat from the early morn.
Audience participation is expected, so bring your brain.

Panel participants are:
Jorg Colberg - http://www.jmcolberg.com/weblog/
Cara Philips - http://caraphillips.wordpress.com/
Laurel Ptak - http://www.iheartphotograph.blogspot.com/
Andrew Hetherington - http://www.whatsthejackanory.com/
Brian Ulrich - http://www.notifbutwhen.com/NIBW/

Portfolio Reviewer's Advice

This isn't particularly just for women in photography but for all photographers that attend portfolio reviews. Andrew Hetherington of Whats the Jackanory interviewed photo editor/consultant, Stella Kramer about what to expect out of reviews.

It's always a great to hear criticism from an outsider's point of view whether it sometimes is helpful or not. I've come away with some good and bad reviews, and the worst are when reviewers have nothing to say. So, be sure to speak up and ask!

Whats The Jackanory? Blog Roll

We are super excited to see that we have been added to the Whats The Jackanory? blog roll. Yeah!
Thanks Mr. Hetherington.

I Can See for Miles & More

The response to Blurb's Photo Book Contest has been oberwhelming and we will leave the sorting through all the entires to others, like Andrew Hetherington. However we wanted to highlight Emily Shur's (who we recently spoke to for Nymphoto Conversations) book:I Can See For Miles.
Joerg Colberg pointed out that it would be nice if Blurb would offer a discount on the sales price of the books entered for competition (thus encouraging people to buy the books) -- good idea. Even just a temporary sale would be great.

Someone Else Noticed Too

Photographer & Blogger (the popular Whats the Jackanory?) Andrew Hetherington has been attending all the events at NYPH 08 and reporting about it on his blog and also for Foto 8.
Mr. Hetherington noticed too how well the girls made out at last night's award presentation (see previous posts from May 15 & 16 , 2008) . Read more here.
Also on his blog you can find a cute anecdote about Tina Barney.
