MySpace Cuts Off Nose to Spite Face

Posted on September 14 2006 by Bryan Partington

MySpace in a Mannequin. Unreal, plastic .. kind of hollow. Sort of useless on its own, but a hell of a lot of fun to dress up. No wonder it has such tremendous youth appeal. Funny then, that News Corp....

JPG Revving Up?

Posted on August 09 2006 by Catherine Jamieson

Bravo to them! I always think of JPG Magazine and Utata as being in essentially the same "business" - after the same basic goal of "photography for real people" and, of course I am with all the rest of you folks who consider Derek and Heather to be two of the community's most important resources.
