From Derek Powazek’s blog:
Unfortunately, issue 10 will be the last one that Heather and I will have a hand in. We are no longer working for JPG Magazine or 8020 Publishing.

Andre Gunthert, a french art historian, director of the French scholarly publication “Etudes Photographiques” who was part of the advisory team for the show and part of the panel / roundtable on April 29th has posted a Flickr set of pictures from the show.
Fred Ritchin, whose resume includes being a photo editor at the New York Times, co-autoring Salgado’s Uncertain Grace and authoring In Our Own Image - the coming revolution in photography, a book about the challenges of digital photography which was in print for 15 years, as director of PixelPress, a groundbreaking essay on Bosnia with Gilles Peress, and who is currently teaching at NYU gave a talk about digital photography and his upcoming projects.
The first few seconds are clipped, and we’ll put a video sometime next week as Fred was showing pictures.
In the meantime, you can listen to it here.
N.B : Pour les francophones, la discussion est traduite.
Martin Parr, author of, among others, “Boring Postcards” and “Bliss : Postcards of Couples and Families” explains in his conference how your family photography is form of propaganda, his opinion on technique, what his new agenda is, the demise of Corbis and Getty at the hands of Flickr and what the best new business model for successful photography is. And how dreadful, cliche’ed and boring a lot of amateur photography is.
you can download it here.
In a recent post on his blog entitled My Flickr schizophrenia, Sascha Pohflepp talks more about Flickr and other topics from the conference.
.
We’ve just put a discussion where Erik Kessels, who, among many other things, publishes the Useful Photography books .
You can listen to it here.
N.B : The discussion is introduced in French, and everyone switches to English after about a minute.
The discussion / debate from February 10th, 2006
From left to right :
Radu Stern, Head of Educational Programs, Musée de l’Elysée

The first 20 seconds are in French, and then everything switches to English.
Here’s a video of the opening and the launch of the Flux installation (the one where you can submit your images).
Voici une video du vernissage, et du lancement du Flux (l’installation à laquelle vous pouvez envoyer vos images).
Swiss newspaper Le Temps has gallery of pictures that are in the show. You can look at it here. It features work from the fine readers / contributors of JPG magazine, as well as from Martin Parr and the Keystone press agency.
This is a series of 16 photographs of a region of the sky, taken by an amateur astronomer, on which an asteroid which should be on a collision course with the earth does not appear, proving that there is no asteroid on a collision course with the earth. On the theoretical level, proof by absence isn’t really common in photography - you’d traditionally use photography to prove that something WAS there, not that something WASN’T there.
A complete story of the incident, which almost prompted a phone call to the White House, is available here.

JPG is ‘the magazine of brave new photography’ – a printed magazine available in stores, and an online community. Unlike traditional magazines, JPG is created by its readers: anyone can contribute their photographs and vote on their favorites. The best are printed in the next issue.
We’ll be showing a bunch of work from JPG magazine: there will be 20 prints of the ‘most favorited’ images, i.e. the JPG community’s most appreciated images.
We strongly suggest you read the ‘letter from the editors‘ (euphemism for ‘manifesto’).
Co-creator and editor Derek Powazek will be there for the opening and will participate in the round-table with sascha and régine.
Berlin based artist Sascha Pohflepp has an interesting project called ‘Buttons‘. We call it ‘the camera that takes other people’s pictures’.
Be sure to check out the video.

Sascha Pohflepp: http://www.pohflepp.com/, and his blog.
Sascha will also be participating in the round-table on Saturday the 10th of February, with his co-we-make-money-not-art‘er Régine Debatty, and Derek Powazek from JPG magazine
