We Are All Photographers Now!

Posted by Derek Powazek on 4 February 2007.

Here at JPG, we're all about bringing attention to excellent unknown photographers - that's why we print the magazine. Today, we're breaking into the art world. We're thrilled to announce JPG's first gallery show!

JPG Magazine is participating in a show at Musée de l'Elysée in Lausanne, Switzerland. We Are All Photographers Now! is a show about "the rapid mutation of amateur photography in the digital age." And we just love anything that has to do with mutants.

We selected 20 photos from among the most favorited images on the site, and the photographers kindly agreed to participate. They'll be printed, framed, and hung in the show.

The JPG wall will also include a flat panel LCD displaying a slideshow of excellent photos from the community. If one of your photos has been favorited a few times, chances are it'll be in the slideshow!

But wait, there's more! You can participate in the show by uploading a photo to the show's website right now. The uploaded pics will be shown on a projector in the gallery. And once a week, 100 photos will be chosen at random, printed, hung for a week, and added to the museum's permanent collection.

We're thrilled to participate in this amazing show, to give our members a chance to be featured in the gallery, and to prove that:

PS - You can follow the show's progress on their blog.
