Blurb’s Photobook Contest
Blurb’s been working-out-the-kinks of their print-on-demand service in the last few years. I saw a few stellar examples during our ACP 9 Portfolio Review from photographers who’d turned to Blurb to put their work into book form. Blurb’s sponsoring a photobook contest with a $25,000 award (!), and the deadline is July 14th. Darius Himes is the head judge of a distinguished panel. More info on the Blurb site.

Studio 360 at AIPAD
WNYC’s Studio 360 with Kurt Anderson visited AIPAD a few weeks ago (the Association of International Photography Art Dealers), and came away with the piece below, discussing the current state of the art market vis-a-vis the economy. Not Atlanta-centric, but interesting nonetheless. Press the pink button to play, and scroll forward to :25 seconds in, if you can’t wait.

Abby Banks “If You Lived Here You’d Be Home Now” at Get This! Gallery
Photographer Abby Banks has an exhibition of photographs called “If You Lived Here You’d Be Home Now” at Get This! Gallery in Castleberry. ACP visited Abby and gallery owner Lloyd Benjamin the afternoon of her show’s opening. The photographs in the show were selected from Abby’s cross-country journey photographing punk houses nationwide. Some of these photos were published last October in her first book, “Punk House”.
“If You Lived Here You’d Be Home Now” is up through June 21st.
Get This! Gallery has been a participating venue in Atlanta Celebrate’s Photography’s monthlong festival, and we’re looking forward to including them again this year. Thanks again to Abby and Lloyd.
