Digital BW, The Print

Daniel,
Congratulations!  FYI - I was lucky[?] enough to have 2 of my pictures
chosen - from 72 submitted - for a Merit Award in the B&W Special Portfolio
issue.  Of course, I submitted 6 portfolios each with 12 images, so imagine
the thrill!  To the point, the single issue submissions were over by May so
the next opportunity will be in the portfolio contest. Try to keep your
portfolios quite narrow in scope with very similar style and subject matter
as my submissions were grouped by very general criteria.  The ones that were
chosen [pages 113-114] were of manequins in store windows in NYC and the
rest of the portfolio was other NYC images. I  was so excited by my being
published that I started a website - http://www.omages.com, to try to
capitalize on my newfound "success".
I also submitted a portfolio to Lenswork via their bonus gallery program on
Lenswork Extended [the CD version of the magazine with many extras -  a
fabulous vehicle for learning about and viewing content from Lenswork] and
am awaiting some response.  The editor of Lenswork - Brooks Jensen - waxes
poetically regarding making photographic art available to the masses, and he
has done that in many ways through his magazine and the Extended CD.  In
fact, he asked readers to participate in what he called "The Experiment",
where he allowed us to download some of his images, then shake them up in
Photoshop or other editing programs, and return them to the magazine.  They
were shown in the Extended issue for Lenswork 64, and again I was gratefully
surprised to have mine included in these submissions.
Next, I want to submit images to Camera Arts, and maybe Focus magazine,
though I think they want you to advertise in their mags along with
submissions, but I may be wrong about that.  I'm sure other members of this
group have more information.
Anyway, good luck!  I'm sure that your talent and persistence will reward
you in many ways.
