The Daily Double: What do PDN, BLURB and Photo Reviews Have In Common...

Has PDN lowered the proverbial drawbridge yet? Remember when the Bush administration had the ultimate arrogance to declare that they "create their own reality." And no one had the cajones to tell them that the proper term for that was... fantasy. Well, whether it's a 24 member all white jury at PDN, a ten member all white jury at Blurb's Photography Book Now competition, or the sea of white faces at countless photo festival review panels, as I commented on APE- what we're talking about here is integration, or more precisely, the lack thereof...

In addition to all the wisdom currently at Duckrabbit and APE, Jim Johnson's Politics, Theory & Photography has currently weighed in with one brilliant post.

Thanks to all the Conscientious bloggers, photographers and participants who continue to give a shit!
