Many a friend and, more importantly, many a notable artist can be found on the new Fjord, a site dedicated to young and emerging photographers. Familiar with many of the artists through my blogging days for Hey, Hot Shot!, it's quite the scene to find us all together in one well designed, easy to navigate, database.
Book bound, the new site is a launchpad for what is a larger and more ambitious project. Fjord's mission is to take what has become a tightly nit community online and translate it into a book with a capital 'B'. Oh what we have to look forward to!
From Fjord's mission statement:
The drastic shift in the way work is being presented today has become especially noticeable in the more technologically adept generation. Fjord's goal is to bring together a collection of notable photographers from the internet and showcase their work in book form. This transition from internet to book will allow a different audience to experience the work thus bringing emerging artists into the public's view.
It is beyond c-o-o-l to see such a considerable chunk of talent in one compact place and quite a complement to be included in such company. Gold stars to Grant Willing and Alana Celii for going the extra mile.
And if you're as excited as I about the prospect of flipping through these fine physical pages, you can support the Fjord cause via Alana's paypal [sailbellyup@hotmail.com].
