The value of one's contribution haunts most artists at some point in their career.

Community Building!

The NP version and the true & tried original

The now infamous New York Times Gallerina article triggered all kinds of reactions. The formidable Liz Kuball (with some input from Amy Elkins and Cara Phillips) came up with a badge that women photographers could add to their sites and thus signal that they were part of a 'sisterhood'. We thought that was a great idea and put up a widget. Somehow it disappeared from the blog. We don't know why or how. But of course we wanted to bring it back. Since Liz encouraged people to make their own designs, we came up with the one you see above on the left. The one on the right is the original. And we highly recommend adding one to your site!
It is been great seeing everyone's badges on the blogosphere and web. And to see more and more women artist out there and speaking up. Women in Photography is another great example of the community building that is going on.
Kudos Liz Kuball!
