Recommended reading. There’s a lot here, even more running between the lines. Proud that Linoleum shares a home city with ATAK.

LINOLEUM is here. If you’re anywhere near Philly this Friday or Saturday, come see what we’ve got. Proud to be under the same tent with Light Work, Mossless, Vox Populi, Paper Safe, MACK, and whole bunch of others.

A two-day Philadelphia art event featuring exhibitors from photography and art book publishers, small and large, to individual artists and institutions, as well as lectures from key artists and bookmakers.

Great writing by Vanessa Albury at Huffpost on Rachel Rampleman, “Baby’s On Fire,” and her new book from Linoleum Press.

Rachel Rampleman introduced me to the NYC-based, all-ladies Mötley Crüe tribute band, Girls Girls Girls one Saturday night in early 2014 during a visit to her Brooklyn studio. The band was getting ready to play their last show and I was inv…

Hi. We’re here today. Come get see the new and old stuff. Obviously this is the time to get Rachel’s book “Baby’s On Fire,” and also grab “Startling New World” by me and Emily Churco.

Besides the fact that Mark has inspired thousands of photographers and photography fans, he’s personally a respectful, intelligent person. He has quickly taken down any and every post anyone has ever contacted him about. His blog is massive (thousands of posts) and popular, so it is inevitable that he will get a few complaints a year.

Tumblr needs to restore Mark’s blog not only because it’s one of the best resources for photography on the internet, not because Mark has personally poured so many hours into it, but because why should anyone else use Tumblr as a serious platform, if this might be the result? As I wrote two years ago, Tumblr still has no backup. Anything you make here can be deleted without warning.

Mark’s blog was a huge source of inspiration (and links) for Issue Three. I mentioned his blog in my opening essay to the book, it really was wonderful.

Photographers who are unhappy with their work being posted on blogs (especially those who give detailed credit) should approach those bloggers personally. We are not unknown to taking down posts by request. Going for a DMCA takedown is uncalled for. It is also up to the Tumblr staff to take a more sensitive approach than the simplistic 3-strike rule they currently have instated.

I’m sure that if all our voices are heard, Mark’s blog will be reinstated. The photography community needs spaces like his.

I know I never post text/music/reblogs on this account, but this merits it absolutely. Mark’s blog is, among many admirable things, a model for crediting authors of digital content, and in my experience he is an exemplary advocate and champion of emerging artists working in photography in the digital age. His work is more than a part of my daily life, it’s also a sure thread woven through the binding of this creative community.
