Cara Phillips made great post on her blog a few days ago titled “What’s a Lady to Do?” where she considers the challenges of being female in the photo world. The post seems to have sparked a call for action to create more support, discussion, and opportunities for women. Cara wrote me, excited to report that there is a new blog started by Amy Elkins called Women in Photography which will focus on addressing these topics through the showcasing of work.

Women In Photography contains a simple concept:

To showcase work, news and ideas from women in the contemporary photo world.
To create a collection of strong work by women actively creating work.
To reach new audiences collectively.

The blog is now accepting submissions by practicing women photographers for a “group show” to kick things off. Those of you interested in submitting should send 5 images from a cohesive project or a work in progress (saved as “myname_title.jpg”, 5×7 @ 150 dpi) and a short statement/bio to womeninphotography [at] gmail.com.

Visit the blog for more information and to follow the posts.
