Why can’t I get away from it!? Again, LJ is perfect for this kind of stuff! Seriously, I really like the concept of JPG Mag — through there, I discovered a lot of inspiring photographers. . .who really really inspire to get better! and well, getting other photographers to look at your work and potentially getting it published is a great incentive. I’m torn as I do want to support the mom and pop of JPG. But really, they’ve got talent and ideas and I have no doubt that they’ll come out with something as inspiring. I’m going to keep my account and and give it a chance for a while and see where it goes. At the same time, it irks me that there are so many egos flying around. It's one thing announce to the community about the reality of the situation in a humbling, graceful manner (I respect that) and another to air dirty laundry. I kinda lost respect for everyone involved. When it comes to business I take what people write on their personal blogs with a grain of salt. I understand that part of it is a community issue, also really, executive decisions have been made even before this community got big. Regardless, I have a life of my own that’s more important to deal with and be passionate for — everything else, should just go into LiveJournal, and well, on your blog, cause I love you. And really, there is nothing about this that anybody has to "deal" with. especially when everyone has a choice to delete the account -- and that is that. So it goes. Ooh the drama!!
