As many of you faithful readers can attest, I frequently submit work to JPG Magazine.  One of these days I hope to find myself in complete shock when I hear that a photo or article has been published.  Were you all aware of 8020’s additional project: Everywhere Magazine?

Everywhere is a nifty side project and I have to admit, that when I first saw the launch I was uninspired.  It did not move me at all.  But after sifting through much of the site, I have really come to like it. Not only does it allow for photographers to become involved with the same user-driven system that powers JPG, but it allows writing as well.  Not that JPG does not, it is just that I feel Everywhere seems to encourage more writing than JPG.  I enjoy the premise of the site and how it is arranged.  Rather than updating your profile, you make changes to a “travelogue”.  It is this attention to detail that helps the magazine stand out.   

There is something unique about being the first person to create a location or help build on what is already there.  Of course, the two locations that I submitted articles and photographs for have already been created, but the next two have not yet been added to the site, so I am looking forward to starting it off right.  Or at least a humble attempt.

While I have held JPG in my hands and admired the quality of the printing, I have not yet done so with Everywhere.  Since it is produced by the same folks, I have no doubts that the quality would be any less than JPG.

Here are the two articles I have submitted thus far, with two more in the works:

• Asheville: A Great Place for the Artistic Mind
• City Hall East: A Sleeping Monster 

Oh, speaking of JPG, here is one of my more recent submissions to the theme “Fresh“:
