JPG Magazine Blog Overload (But good!)

JPG Magazine has been quite active with their blog as of late. In late September, a Featured Member post was written with this to say:

"With so many amazing photographers on JPG right now, we thought it would be nice to make a few introductions. Here on the blog we'll be featuring some of the talented JPG contributors..."

Then in early October another post:

"With thousands of photos submitted to each issue, it's incredibly difficult to pick just sixty or so for the issue. Excruciating! We've been searching for ways to encourage people whose work we really admire who don't make it into the issue..."

Since then, there are have been lots of posts featuring photos from different themes, via the blog, as well as the addition of Featured Outtakes for different themes available to logged in users via the downloads section. Featured Outtakes are the photos that didn't make the cut for a given theme in the print magazine, but are photos that would have made the cut if the magazine was, say, 50 pages larger.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm happy to see this stuff sitting in my feed reader. I've been busy as of late, and in general browing galleries and surfing sharing sites (as well as voting on photos for themes) has not made it into my day in quite some time. However, with this new stream of posts, browsing comes to me, even if it is just a quick glance. Thanks JPG!
