The Early Issues, 1-6
Includes themes Origin, Lost, Fabulous, Photography Is Not a Crime, and Oops.
January 2005—August 2006
In January of 2005, Derek Powazek and Heather Powazek Champ ignited a spark. They saw an opportunity in the quality of images on photo sharing sites like flickr.com; they saw unrecognized capability and unrecognized captures. Through their own talent and that of the online photography community, Derek and Heather put together JPG Issues 1 through 6, a beautiful collection of photographs, articles, and interviews. Some of the highlights that captured the spirit of JPG: the Issue 2: Lost interview with a woman fighting breast cancer and documenting her journey, the Issue 5: Photography is Not a Crime cut-out guide to photographers' legal rights, the Issue 6: Oops how-to article on tossing your camera to get kaleidoscopic images. Printing of the 6" x 9" paperbacks was arranged through a print-on-demand website so that Derek and Heather could put this collection together on their own, as a labor of love, with the community contributing an enormous pool of great images.
JPG has come a long way since its beginnings. JPG is now printed by 8020 Publishing six-times each year as a full-sized magazine delivered to subscribers and newsstands around the world. Over a million community votes were cast on 10,000 photos and stories submitted to the last issue. But the creative energy, the talented community, the passion for showcasing excellent work: all of these elements originated in the Early Issues and continue on today. From Issue 1: Origin to Issue 6: Oops, this collection embodies the spirit of the fun in photography: the moment, the capture, the creativity, the experiment, the accident. The Early Issues served as the inspiration for the magazine and community that would follow, and we hope you enjoy them.
The magazine is 390 pages, 6 inches wide, 9 inches tall, perfect-bound, 20-pound white interior paper, full-color CMYK interior ink, 100-pound white exterior paper, full-color CMYK exterior, and contains zero ads.
