593 artists entered Photolucida's Critical Mass Competition. 175 were selected after a pre-screening and voted on by 200 professional reviewers. The top fifty finalists are showcased at PCNW. Andy Adams, Editor / Publisher of FlakPhoto.com selected one intriguing image from each artist.
Lecture 7 PM: The Internet, Social Media & Photography Online, Andy Adams, FlakPhoto.com
Tickets: $6 regular, $4 PCNW members
Lecture Description: The Internet is influencing photography culture around the world: connecting international audiences to art experiences, enabling the discovery of new work and presenting never-before-seen channels of expression. The result is a collaborative community of photographers that interacts and shares their work more spontaneously than ever before.
Your To-Do List: March
Welcome to a fresh month with so much to do:
• For those of you among the low-fi photo community, our good friend Mary Ann Lynch is editing the next issue of Light Leaks magazine, "Ebb & Flow: The cycle of change." The deadline is March 13th.
• The Center for Fine Art Photography has two calls for juried shows open right now: Animalia, juried by Karen Irvine and Consumption, juried by Brian Paul Clamp. The deadline for Animalia is March 16th. Consumption is April 13th.
• Enter CPW's Photography Now 2010 Exhibition, juried this time around by Lesley A. Martin from Aperture. Deadline is March 31st.
• check out the new issue of Fraction magazine. Many of our friends are included: Jonathan Blaustein, Mary Goodwin, Liz Kuball and more...
• oh, and also check out the new issue of LensWork, featuring Loli Kantor's "There Was a Forest." Loli originally showed her work to Brooks and Maureen at our Reviews last Spring.
• for those of you in New York, Paula McCartney's Birdwatching opens this week at Klompching. Also, everyone's favorite photographer/collector/blogger/and generator of enthusiasm for all things photographic, Ruben Natal-San Miguel, has a show of his own work, Concrete Jungle, at Kris Graves Projects. Congrats Ruben! Both of these shows open Thursday night. Go ahead and call in sick for Friday now.
• check out Verve photo. Good stuff there.

• CDS has also partnered up with Daylight Magazine and they've both announced the Daylight/CDS Photo Awards, to honor and promote talented and committed photographers, both emerging and established.

Remember when?
Remember when Brian Ulrich was just early into all that fantastic Copia work? Back before his Guggenheim. Remember when Doug Dubois dug into the final stretch on his family work that resulted in his critically-acclaimed book that aperture published last year? Remember when Julie Blackmon wowed us all with that color work from her "Domestic Vacations" series? Back before her monograph was published by Radius Books and her representation list grew as long as my arm. Remember the first time you saw the work of Kelli Connell? Michal Chelbin? John Chervinsky? Todd Deutsch? Suzanne Opton? Chris Jordan? You remember... back before his appearance on the Colbert Report?
Well, every single one of these photographers is among the 2005 Critical Mass Top 50. This stroll down memory lane is brought about because The Critical Mass 2009 Top 50 page is now up and running. This page, as well as the pages from all of the previous years are an absolutely fantastic teaching, and even better yet, learning tool as it compiles the actual submissions from the Top 50 ranked photographers from each year of Critical Mass. My God... there are a full five years of the Critical Mass Top 50 listed now. Five years! It almost feels like looking through a yearbook... only less embarrassing. Share it, use it, enjoy it.

Finally! The Critical Mass 2009 Book Award Winners!
A HUGE congratulations to:
Ultimately, Birthe's and Alejandro's projects rose to the top of the unique democratic process that is Critical Mass and join the ranks of the Critical Mass Book Award Winners. As is always the case with our Book Awards, we're super excited to help more people experience and celebrate this work by producing these books.
What's new this time though is that we're also especially excited to be partnering up with Daylight Books (the new book program of Daylight Magazine) to produce Alejandro's book.
Remember that everyone who participated in CM09, every photographer who entered and every juror, will receive copies of these books once they're produced. And hold on, before you start filling in the comments section with complaints of not having received the last batch of books, remember, it takes a while to publish a beautiful book of exceptional photography and our CM08 books aren't out into the world quite yet. Soon, though... very soon. We're in the final stretch right now and they should be coming in, and going back out to you, in March.
CONGRATS TO BIRTHE, ALEJANDRO, OUR OTHER BOOK AWARD FINALISTS, AND REALLY, ALL OF YOU WHO'VE PARTICIPATED IN CRITICAL MASS, FOR MAKING THIS UNIQUE PROGRAM SUCH A HUGE SUCCESS! LOOK FOR REGISTRATION FOR CRITICAL MASS 2010 TO OPEN THIS SUMMER!
