Karly and I have been very pleased with the positive response to Remain in Light. Thanks for all of the e-mails, everyone. The submissions have been rolling in regularly and it’s hard to stay on top of all of the people joining the mailing list. Exciting!

Just a reminder to all of you who still have not submitted or joined the list, go here and do both! Again, the deadline for submissions is March 1, 2008.

More to come soon.

Karly Wildenhaus and I are pleased to announce Remain in Light, our exciting new print endeavor. Remain in Light will be an unbound book featuring 16 photographs by 16 photographers in Vol. 1, with new volumes planned to be released biannually.

We’ve already received quite a bit of support around the blogosphere for this and 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 remaininlightphoto@gmail.com 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 Karly Wildenhaus and Shane Lavalette.

While there is no specific theme for each volume, the cohesiveness of the final sixteen 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.
