Well, so I’m a little late to game writing about Fjord, but I have to check in on this one because I’m so excited to be a part of it. Fjord is a book project spearheaded by Grant Willing and Alana Celii, which they describe this way:
The drastic shift in the way work is being presented today has become especially noticeable in the more technologically adept generation. Fjord’s goal is to bring together a collection of notable photographers from the internet and showcase their work in book form. This transition from internet to book will allow a different audience to experience the work thus bringing emerging artists into the public’s view.
As we all know, photography lends itself rather well to internet and, as a result, there’s a rather vibrant community of young photographers here. There’s no arguing the fact that our dialogue is having an impact on they way images are created. Fjord will be a beautiful catalog of this transitional moment. Though we are contemporaries, I have viewed many of these artists as mentors as my passion for photography has grown over the past few years. I’m exceedingly proud to be included with them in these pages!
Be sure to peruse the gallery. There are familiar names in there and also less familiar ones, but all the work is absolutely wonderful!
Lastly, gettingFjord to bookshelves is a is a grassroots effort. If you can help us promote the book in any way possibly, from sending some cash to linking to the website to simply distributing some postcards, we’d really appreciate it. Any extra dollars you might have can be sent to Alana thru paypal at sailbellyup at gmail dot com.
