I am pleased to announce Lay Flat, an exciting new print endeavor. The first issue of Lay Flat will be co-curated by myself and Karly Wildenhaus and will feature 20 unbound photographs by 20 photographers as well as writing about photography. New issues are planned to be released biannually, each time with a different co-editor.
There has already been quite a bit of support around the blogosphere for this and I couldn’t be happier with the amount of work and, indeed, the quality of work that’s coming in. For those of you who have not sent in your submission, here are the details.
New print publication seeks submissions of recent photography work for first volume. The final selection of sixteen photographs will each be printed on separate cards and presented unbound in a specially created slipcase.
Please submit 5-10 images (JPG, 72dpi) or an online portfolio along with your name, age and current city of residence to submit [at] layflat.org by March 1, 2008 to be considered for the first issue scheduled for release in late spring. The final images will be selected by co-editors Shane Lavalette and Karly Wildenhaus.
While there is no specific theme for this issue, the cohesiveness of the final texts and photographs will be taken into consideration. Contributors will be notified within 2 weeks after deadline whether their work will be featured in the first volume and must supply requested files and additional information by the end of March. Submissions are welcome at anytime and will be considered for future volumes for six months after the date of submission.
Feel free to help spread the word via your own blog or by directing those who may be interested to the official website.
