Calling out loud!

PCNW'S 15th Annual Photo Competition is coming up, with Aperture's Denise Wolff as juror and quite a few impressive prizes. Deadline for entries is June 12th.

Guatephoto, Guatemala's inaugural photo festival, is a great opportunity for people from all over the world to take place in a show at Guatemala's Museum of Modern Art Carlos Merida and keep costs down by having the work printed and mounted on that end. Open to anyone, from anywhere, and with an entry fee of only $15. Deadline on this one is May 28th.

And for students, Michael Mazzeo just posted a call for CLASS PICTURES, a student-only show with no entry fee whatsoever. Yes, really... you should either enter or pass it on to someone you know who should. Deadline on this one is May 31st.

Our CM 08 Book Award Books are almost ready to be sent out. So far, the response has been great.

Congrats Andy and Priya... Céline, yours is coming soon!

Remember, everyone who participated in CM08 (reviewers and participants) will be receiving all three books (they're slated to go out in May), but if you need an extra, or just can't wait, you can also order here, now.

OUCH!

Just got wind of this NY Times article (thanks Laura), about the sad state of the photography business these days. Couldn't help but notice that it features Matt Eich and Livia Corona as well. I feel like a congratulations is in order, but to be held up as examples of the difficulties today's photographers are facing isn't exactly as exciting as the previous announcements of Matt's inclusion in the PDN30 and Livia's Guggenheim, is it? Hang in there... you're not alone!
