I believe much of this dialogue is fueled by blogs, which is exciting. However, it could be improved. Your idea sounds great - reminds me of the potential that a site like Flickr or <a href="http://www.photosig.com/go/main" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Photosig</a> (or any other photo-sharing site) has. Chad,

What effect do you think these things will have on the next generation of photography? I suppose I'm asking what the effect of hundreds of people putting thousands of images for thousands to see without a single word being communicated does to us as artists" Hmm. What are your thoughts on that comment? I had an idea a while back, which, i never got put in motion for a number of reasons, but... the idea was to create a space on the internet for artists to post work and for other artists to be able to critique the work and start some critical dialogue amongst one another. Some thought it should be a private space with invite only, others thought it should be more public. I have gone back and forth with the whole concept, not sure if the affects would become positive or negative; or how to approach it. I'm sure this exists somewhere already. Maybe, there is even a secret blog somewhere in the internet where Barbara Kruger, Jeff Wall, John Baldessari, and Stephen Shore go back forth. To think that all the people involved in Fjord could also be involved in something of that nature is definitely interesting. Might make for some crazy conversations...or rants. “VYM: The negative is that we engage in no critical dialogue with each other.
