Issue 7 of JPG Magazine will be out in the middle of November. It's the first issue with wide-scale distribution, including turning up in bookstores and newsstands. That's very exciting news for JPG Magazine and also very exciting news for me because one of my photographs was accepted for publication. So coming November 15 or so run out to your local bookstore and pick up a copy. If they don't have one make sure to tell them that they need to carry it so you can buy it from them. They make a sale, you get a great photography magazine. Win-win. Thanks very much to everyone who voted for my photograph to be chose for publication.

Since Issue 7 of JPG is locked down and will be on stands soon it's time to submit for issue 8. The themes for issue 8 are Tourist, Intimate, and Embrace the Blur. Photographers whose work is selected for publication will receive a copy of the issue their work is in, a one year subscription to JPG magazine and $100. For issue 8 the Embrace the Blur theme is sponsored by Lensbabies. Each photographer published in the Embrace the Blur theme will also receive a Lensbaby 3G.
