THE STEVEN VINCENT FOUNDATION AND FRIENDS OF JASSIM INVITE YOU TO THE PANEL DISCUSSION: FIXERS ON THE FRONTLINESTuesday, June 26, 2007, 6-8pm. THE LITTLE MAGAZINE THAT COULDMichael Itkoff and Taj Forer were students at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York, in the fall of 2003 when, while watching a Red Sox-yankee playoff game on television, they came up with the name "Daylight" for the new photojournalism magazine they planned to start together. Initially they conceived of Daylight as an outlet for their own work, but very quickly the magazine took on a life of its own, creating an innovative niche for itself as a forum that combines the work of emerging and citizen photographers with that of established photojournalists. DAYLIGHT EDITORS TO SIT ON PHOTOALLIANCE PORTFOLIO PANELDaylight Magazine editors Taj Forer and Michael Itkoff have been invited to review portfolios at OUR WORLD: A National Juried Portfolio Review sponsored by PhotoAlliance that will be held over the weekend of March 10-11 in San Francisco. Participant prizes will include PhotoAlliance Emerging Photography Award and the Our World Publication Award. The submission deadline has been extended until February 19. This is a great opportunity for all photographers to submit portfolios for consideration. Fifty portfolios will be selected for review. DAYLIGHT MAGAZINE ISSUE 5 PDN FEBRUARY 2007 TOP PICKPhoto District News has listed Daylight Magazine Issue 5 - Global Commodities as their February 2007 Top Pick. Keep an eye out for March 2007 issue of PDN featuring a large article on Daylight Magazine which will include excerpts from interviews with Tom Rankin and Joel Sternfeld. A NEW PHOTOGRAPHY MAGAZINE DOCUMENTS A WIDE RANGE OF ESTABLISHED AND EMERGING ARTISTRY AND ISSUESIt began with a basic concept: Provide an outlet for young artists, create a showcase for documentary photography and have fun while doing so. For Taj Forer and Michael Itkoff, co-editors of Daylight Magazine, an independent documentary photography magazine based in Chapel Hill, the solution was simple: start their own publication. "We were increasingly frustrated with how limited the number of outlets were for young artists and emerging artists," said Forer, a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College. |
