Greetings, NY Times reader. If you’re coming from the story on 8020, you might be interested in reading the real story of JPG Magazine.
As someone who routinely talks about the future of media and how editors are still going to be needed, I often forget how much they’re needed now. In that spirit, here are […]
On Monday, I posted a revealing story to explain why Heather and I were no longer at JPG Magazine. It’s the kind of story people don’t usually tell in public. Perhaps I’m into radical transparency or maybe I’m just difficult.

After over two years of publishing, just under two months of life on the new site, and two weeks of really hard work, I’m thrilled to say that subscriptions to JPG Magazine are now available!
Subscriptions cost $24.99 for six issues a year in the US. It’s a little more pricey for international shipping, but […]
One of the many gifts of our increasingly networked world is the diminishing boundaries between communities. And the magazine business is about to get hit by a boundary-blurring tidal wave.
It’s already started. What’s the difference between NBC and Joe Everynerd on MySpace or YouTube? They’re all just usernames - each with an equal chance […]
The submission period for Issue 7 of JPG Magazine has just ended, but you can still vote for another week. Get your vote on in Big, Self-portraiture, and Hometown! Here are my submissions.

Jason Calacanis is the P.T. Barnum of the weblog world. Barnum took a hirsute woman and turned her into The Bearded Lady. Calacanis took something as banal as paying writers to write and turned it into An Issue That Must Be Discussed. And I’m glad, because it is.

Exactly two years ago today, JPG Magazine began with a simple mission to honor the amazing work coming out of the online photographic community. Today, after six issues, on JPG’s 2nd birthday, JPG has been reborn.
Everything is new. You can now create a membership and upload your photos. Members can directly create the magazine by […]
Whether it was faulty settings, old film, the random photo on the last frame of film, or the last photo a camera ever took, issue 6 features some of the finest slip-ups, freak-outs, and happy accidents ever captured on film or pixels. We’re also joined by featured photographer Rion Nakaya, who shares some of her […]
