DISCOVER THE 12 PHOTOGRAPHERS TO GO TO PRESS THIS SPRING!
JRNL 8 SPRING 2021 ISSUE
As spring slowly moves in bringing new hopes for a post-Covid society along with its warming light, we couldn’t be more excited to reveal the next group of 12 analogue talents from 5 countries Guest Editor Michael Famighetti selected to publish in the upcoming JRNL 8 pages! The intercrossing trajectories of the works to be presented collectively arch a remarkable sense of togetherness, each picturing deeply relevant and equally revealing variations of the tensed, global narrative our entangled lives now seem to share more than ever before. As much through an exquisite curatorial envisioning such as this one as in the spur of conversations everywhere, keeping the great commonality of our human condition in the light as we see it today should remain a guiding premise to better tomorrows.
