Emerging Photographer Fund – Finalists

all i can say is that you rocked my boat……venues for young photographers may be changing drastically and unpredictably, but this new work i have seen over the last few weeks is shaking the ground of possibility for the future…..the clear authorship of these photographers who submitted EPF portfolios to BURN will become apparent to you in the coming weeks….

10 finalists have been chosen out of the over 1,000 entries for the Emerging Photographer Fund grant of $10,000….

one of these finalists will be chosen by a jury of peers as the 2009  EPF grantee….

the funding for the EPF comes from generous donors to BURN and the  Magnum Cultural Foundation , a non-profit wing of Magnum Photos Inc.

the essays of these 10 authors will be revealed  here on BURN, one by one,  in the coming weeks leading up to the announcement of the grant recipient at the Look3 Festival of the Photograph in Charlottesville, Virginia in June…that comes out to i think 2 essays per week up until announcement day…each essay will be labeled as a FINALIST…i should be able to start publishing the finalists starting May 15, this coming Friday….in other words, each week you will know of two more finalists….

i have chosen a prestigious 5 person jury of peers to select the EPF grantee from the 10 finalists….i will not be on this jury….one juror is  from Magnum..the other 4 were selected from a wide demographic spectrum of our craft and our art….these jurors will be identified at the same moment as the announcement of the 2009  EPF recipient….

there were a solid 200 very competitive portfolios out of the 1000 entries…..these top 200 will be published on BURN throughout the year….these portfolios will be given special attention by me all year in terms of selecting prints for sale in the BURN gallery, career guidance,  recommendations to magazine editors, consideration for funded assignments here, and a general matching of photographer to venue whenever possible….

for those of you who submitted work, i give you my heartfelt thank you…with your permission, your work will be a pillar of what is published on BURN in 2009…my goal here is to launch us into leading edge publishing where the audience IS the magazine and the audience is funded by the magazine….you have proved  to me your collaboration with your  entries, i will  prove my part  by reflecting it right back to you on your BURN….

ALL….

i am hitchhiking to New York today…my friend Medford is picking me up at a designated gas station and off we go for the 9 hour drive up the coast…

i could tell you that i have a book signing for my “Living Proof” at the Powerhouse arena tonight (9pm) during the New York photo fest (Book Soup) and i hope to see you there…that is actually true…(by the way Living Proof now in the MOMA book store…kinda cool i thought..cool for my guys in the South Bronx)

HOWEVER, the more REAL TRUTH is that i must get to the city just in time to try and save the Kibbutz space…the BURN gallery space…

my old loft space and hopefully now your gallery space….a space for showing your work….a space for selling some of your prints……yes, there will be two sleeping spaces in this loft, but all of my personal effects are gone and the walls will be only for your work…the loft will be so “decorated” as to be clearly a gallery….and the loft can also serve as the BURN HOTEL should you be in New York and need a place to crash…

i always have quite a bit of drama in my life, but never more than now….this movie is full of suspense….and you are in this movie…..i often dream of “no drama”, but somehow that just isn’t going to happen…

thanks quite literally to your generous and timely donations, we might just save the Kibbutz by literally hours….no joke..landlords in New York do not wait….

we, yes WE ,need this space not only for your gallery presentations but as a BURN office … i can edit and do most things from my laptop from anywhere, but this ends up being so so stressful and not sustainable in the long run…

BURN needs a real home….

and while the view from the Kibbutz is fantastic, i do not think anyone would describe this small space as extravagant…this space rents out right now to me for $2000. per month…i would like to tell you that i could afford it out of my back pocket, but i cannot…i am struggling along with everyone else in this global financial downturn…as a matter of fact, if i ever wanted to re-live my poor college days, i am pretty darned close…as a student i always loved the stories of starving struggling artists and i have managed to live out that fantasy!!! but, forget my personal woes….this is about US… we must try to survive in this clime….perhaps even thrive in this clime…we do have SOME things going for us…a very popular venue and all of our collected works…and collected ENERGY!!!

ok, practical stuff is HAPPENING…

Anton and i are now scrambling to make the very best showing of BURN for the Look3 festival….we are going to use video programs, not slide show programs, to create a totally cool hi def minute and a half to two minute “best of BURN” show…we are getting a major donation of time and effort and technology from one of Anton’s friends in Belgium……i am editing for this now….and writing a script..by the way, writing a script for a two minute show is harder than if i had an hour..but i do not….besides, two minutes just perfect….

in addition, Mike Courvoisier and i are building a more traditional but effective slide show of the EPF finalists…the organizers of Look3 have given me a center stage prime time slot at this festival for BURN…15 minutes…BURN SHOW, EPF finalists announcements…..our logo will appear on the brochures…BURN will be hot at Look3..or, rather should be hot if we can make it hot…or not!!!…right this minute if you saw me you would not think that this is a man who can pull off anything anytime soon….i wonder too….hmmmmmm

by the way, it took me literally weeks to finally push the “publish” button here on BURN for donations…i am totally averse to asking anyone ever for money…i just cannot do it….never could…my parents raised me with a different value system to a fault…all these years as a professional photographer, i always had to have someone else actually ask a client for my fee…hence Magnum….my tendency is to give rather than sell…but finally, out of sheer desperation, and being leaned on by everyone on the planet to have a donate button, i did it….simple survival….

to say thank you to all of you who have just contributed to BURN is not enough….i actually do not know what to say or to write….overwhelmed with gratitude sounds trite even though i am…hmmmmm, how about something like , ok friends with this vote of confidence from you , i am really going to bust it….and make it very clear to you that your contribution is an investment for you and for all of us…make it very clear to you that it was worth it…i promise to make it more than worth it for you…damn, now that sounds like some kind of weird campaign promise or something and i do not like that either…well, ok just thank you…(by the way, i am going to have a CPA draft a complete accounting of all funds coming in and will report all of this to donors by the end of the year…make sense??)

now, that is not the end of this dramatic feature movie….as soon as Look3 is over , i am going to make a rough list of what pictures i know that you have for the BURN gallery (we can have another name if you want)….selecting photographs for the gallery will be tricky, but we will have an online version as well….while we are producing the BURN show, please look at your work very carefully..find one or two or three photographs that you think would work on someone’s wall..this is a very different edit than you might do for another purpose…think think…study the market…think think

for my part, i am also in the process of creating some limited edition books, and maybe work on a handmade book or two over several months….profits from these will be in part used to support BURN as well…you may want to be thinking about what you could do in this regard ….i will do a post on limited editions at some point soon….

ok, now i must go….a long long drive ahead….IF you happen to be in New York please come to see me tonight in Dumbo at the Powerhouse Arena, 9-11pm…Book Soup…several authors signing….cold beer at the BURN GALLERY after, so come and check out OUR space…

please enjoy your day…..thank you again…big high fives all around!!!

cheers, david

    David

    Is there something really, really special in the submissions of this year?
    Something completly out of normal level?
    Something you could say about ” Bloody hell if this is not the winner I am not David Alan Harvey!!”
    or something like that…. :)

    by the way, I think this is very good situation you are not one of the jury.
    But less of pleasure for you I guess. :)
    And pne more questione, is one of the finalists person who is frequent writer of BURN?

    peace

  • Aren´t you getting a bit too spesific now, Marcin..? ;-)

    I am a little bit confused, but very very excited! Yesterday I saw the slideshow with the finalists of EPF 2008. It was funny to see the names of many of you that write here regularly. Now I know a bit more of “who you are” :) Some really nice and interesting stories.
    Let´s wait, whoever appear among the finalists, we know they will be very happy and deserving it!
    Juhuuu!

  • Andrea

    The patience is not one of my best skills :)
    And my questions are without names of course.
    Just David’s impressions about.
    :)

  • Andrea

    Excellent pictures. In the style I love. I really enjoyed your website.

  • Hey Anton, David…

    NICE ONE!

  • ********* CALLING ALL EPF PARTICIPANTS ************

    lets all donate and make burn work like we know it can

    peace, love & photography ; ))))))))))))))

  • Marcin, thank you!! Very glad to hear that. Well, I won´t pretend I am patient either, I am actually happy some of the people here asked the questions that I was wondering about..
    Wow, you´re both painter/photographer!? Very nice, cool paintings! I often go to Warsaw, maybe I contact you next time?!

  • At last donations can begin. Great for those not in close proximity to the Kibbutz to be able to support.
    Good to see you have made it more prominant, it might even need to go a bit more.

    I think you will surprised at the level of support you will get from this, there are so many people who really appreciate what you bunch are doing.

    Bravo

    Ian

  • Andrea

    I live in Wroclaw. I go to Warsaw a few times per year only. Especially now when I have no time for breathing even. But if you will be in Wroclaw someday give me a note. :)

  • MARCIN…

    i have no patience either on many things…but you must be patient on this one please….how boring just to publish a list of names?? then everyone would go click on a link or google or whatever and the moment would just be gone…this way you will see the work the way i saw it…carefully..thoughtfully…the way the photographer intended…published on BURN instead of just a link….

    as i always always say to you, i am waiting for something from you..i know you have work…let me just take a peek…..let’s make a deal..you show me your work and i will show the finalists???? laughing….have a great day Marcin….and come back more often..i miss you here on a regular basis…..

    cheers, david

  • Hi David,

    No name, just impression… As I said :)
    you are satisfy? Very satisfy? or just satisfy?…:)
    Ok, I will push no more. I will be patience.
    I just teasing like you usally do :)

    THANK YOU KIDS OF THE HARVEY FAMILY

    What not to love !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What planet would that make David from?

  • David and All,

    Made a donation to Burn through the website (very easy) mostly in my mind to cover: a ‘suggested’ EPF grant application fee, the ongoing ‘workshop’ learning I get via Burn and um, my share of the beer from At Home 08. But I actually don’t care how Burn uses it — I am very certain it will be used well.

    With regards to the EPF grant, I made a Blurb book in any event. It is a great way to actually complete a project.

    Finally, will be a Look3 and I can make myself available for any Burn or other related activities as needed.

    ANTON …WE LOVE YOU…where is Spacecowboy

  • Wish I could be there!

    Pleased to see the donation button. Absolutely nothing wrong with asking for money esp. in this case, and this really isn’t the case… Its not a demand or a requirement. Its up to the reader, no pressure. If they are happy to do so great! Just waiting on a pay check at this end then will certainly add a little to the coffers!

  • So the finalists will be announced in a month? :-D

    Gosh, I wished I could contribute to the $2000 a month, but I haven’t got a penny… if I was you guys, I’d be looking for all kinds of sponsorship at the moment (both public and corporate)!

  • congrats to all the finalists!! and thanks David for making this possible!! can’t wait to know the great 10…

  • It’s as if we are waiting for the Final Five Cylons to be revealed . . .

  • Dear David,

    I’ve been away for over a month and so much has happened. Although I’m not completely surprised, as you never know what is going to happen around here. It’s such an exciting place to be. The whole concept of the Burn gallery is an inspired idea. Where better to display the work that you have helped inspire, than the place where you started Burn?! I also think the donation button is a good idea. I understand how it goes completely against your gut feelings but I think we are all having to make adjustments at the moment, given the situation we have found ourselves since the end of last year. We must all evolve in our own ways in order to survive.

    “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” Mr Charles Darwin

    No-one wants to see Burn go extinct just yet!

    Best of luck to all the finalists of the EPF. I can only reiterate what an amazing impact being the first recipient was on me. To anyone who doubts the ‘realness’ of Burn and the positive impact it can have, please drop me a line and I’d be happy to convince you otherwise. Sounds like the show at Look3 will be pretty amazing this year. Doubt I’ll be able to make it this year unfortunately, but will certainly be there it spirit.

    I must get back to 6-weeks worth of desertification pictures I just produced for Pulitzer. Shooting is the fun part, now comes the hard work!

    Bestest to All,
    Sean

  • David:

    I remember your basement apartment across from Stevens College in Columbia, Mo. It was an urban walkdown…

    Bob

  • Boheme. The energy here swirls inspired, despite the crisis, forget the crisis. Most countries of the world have been in crisis for generations. Crisis in America would still feel like the best times for someone from a poor nation. There is no story without a conflict; and without a story, it can’t be art; so be thankful for struggles. We all need some drama, admit it.

    There’s magnetism here. Like an open secret. *winks*

    To Imagery and poetic visual dialogues. Burn.

  • Hi

    @ SEAN: Really like the quote of Darwin.

    @ ALL:

    I’ve been out of burn just for a week. I’m really astonished of what is going on!! :-). The “momentum” (phisically speaking) tends to the speed of light.
    Glad to see the DONATION button. and I do not see that as a “Money” button, I’d rather see that like a “Thanks” button. Most of Burnians have learned a lot from late December…

    Gotta go.
    Keep looking forward, Patricio

  • DAH,

    I wish I could be there tonight, unfortunately I can’t make it. I would love to meet you and maybe one day actually talk to you about my work and actually get some feedback from you ( really curious as to what you think). All that your doing for emerging photographers with the magazine and a gallery is amazing. I am really excited about the gallery space (can’t wait to see it and the name is perfect), prints and other publications. I made my donation and although I wish I could have given more, in the future I would not hesitate to invest more money as well as my time, in the gallery or to help in any way I can for such a great idea and collaboration.

    you will be the first to be civilized ( I meant …notified) :))))\
    What not to LOVE…balkans indeed

  • it´s going to be superb.. and we´d both look forward to a meeting..

    one project is to travel up to the 20km area of coastline being disputed between croatia and slovinia.. a tourist beach and hotel complexes.. get the low down there and then, maybe, a chan ce to drive round the top to venice and on.. perhaps.. money will be the maker of the after plan.

    another story is the neocolonialism of the area.. profitable business being bought up cheap no non-croats, renovated and then offered back.. lots of leads.. friends.. one commission under my belt which covers the 5 weeks costs.

    going to do some work with landmine clearing companies.. most there are businesses and i want to find the source of the companies.. only one is charety – and that is norwegian.. my new homeland.. looking to publish locally.

    then there is youth culture of course.. punk.. dance.. but mainly punk, paradoxically.. spanning the divides.. EXITing from war.. young people connecting.
    you know..
    THE hope for removing war, to my mind, is by connecting the youth.. dissolving borders through the application of MUSIC, conversation and levity.. it has helped in northan ireland over the past number of years and likewise it IS working in da balkans… i´ve seen it :ø)

    and so.. busy busy.. if i can also organise a workshop.. which i am trying to .. then i will be in PROFIT:
    magic word.

    and waffle..
    thats magic too.. along with positivity and the number 23.
