JPG Magazine is Saved!!

From an email from the editors of JPG:

We couldn't ask for a better community. In the week or so since our last email, the outpour of support has exceeded our wildest expectations. Your efforts, such as starting savejpg.com, writing blog posts, commenting on Twitter and Flickr, and generally making your voices heard, have provided exciting new opportunities for us. We're thrilled to say that because of you, we have multiple credible buyers interested in giving JPG a home. We will be keeping the site up after all, and hope to have a final update in the next week or so on who the acquirer will be. Thank you for making all of this possible.

Hopefully it continues so we can all continue to enjoy the awesome pictures like the one above that were posted and published. Here's hoping they make it.

Earth Day

It's Earth Day, go outside and enjoy your world. Since it's Earth Day I thought it would be appropriate to post a link to 10 Tips on How to be a Greener Photographer courtesy of one of my favorite newsletters Photojojo! Of course I have to include some babes having fun outside.

February 20 2008 Lunar Eclipse

I wanted to share a picture I took of the eclipse the other night. I love my new camera.

Lohan Train Wreck Keeps Rolling

If you have glimpsed at Fox News in the last 24 hours you know that Linday Lohan has posed for NY Magazine in a photo shoot almost identical to one Marilyn Monroe's last. Same photographer, same accessories, scarves and jewelry, same poses. Lindsay says she is fascinated by Marilyn. It strikes me as odd considering the path Lindsay is heading down and that Marilyn dies of an overdose. I do have to say I like the tattoo on her booty.

Bizarre Picture of the Day

The Kardashians and Oompah-loompahs.

Mayor Posts Lingerie Pics on My Space

Fox News posted the story about Mayor Carmen Kontur-Gronquist who posted pictures of herself in lingerie on MySpace. You can read all about it here. Apparently at the very next town meeting people came out in droves to ask for her resignation. Resign??? I'd be joining her campaign staff. Check her out for yourself. She looks good to me. The only thing that bugs me is that no one thought to get all her pictures before she made her profile private. There were supposedly more than this posted.

Herbert Keppler: 1925-2008

Herbert Keppler, whose 57-year career as a writer, editor, and publisher of photographic magazines earned him a worldwide reputation as one of the most respected and revered authorities in the photographic field, died peacefully in his sleep after a short illness at Phelps Memorial Hospital in Sleepy Hollow, NY, with his wife Louise, daughter Kathy, and son Thomas at his side.
