YES! don’t mind me; I am easily amused…
Bravi, David and Anton! Congratulations to all Burnians: crowdsourcing rules…maybe Burn is not the next business model yet, but it is definitely the league of good will…
Today has been a great day, filled with positive vibes after the pleasant surprise of this morning and this fantastic Lucie Award. Like most of you, above all, I have been happy to see the hard work of Anton and the vision of David recognized. This whole BURN “experiment” is really turning into a life lesson for me that is very inspiring…. I remember the cold day back in Dec last year during which some of us flew to New York and brainstormed until the early hours of the morning with David in his loft to come up with a name for the magazine…. David was just so so excited with the possibilities, what we could create together…. Everything was already in his head from day one….the magazine, the mixing of emerging and experienced photographers, the gallery, even the T-shirts…it all came there, from David or the happy few that were lucky enough to see the birth of what has become BURN today…. of course, David did not do it all by himself and Anton has clearly been the force behind and many of you have helped and given a hand along the way but I remember that day vividly, the camaraderie, the energy, the sense that we could move mountains if we were committed to… I was just there not because I could do much but because I wanted to be part of it or at least witness it… I remember thinking at times whether David had been smoking something (the answer was YES!!!), whether this thing was going to take off….after all, as Pat said, we were just coming off some rough times on Road Trips but….the flame was there, burning in David…. by the way, already that day, Anton did the hard work designing the site…. now, as I am looking at this again, 10 months later, all I can say is waouh, what a journey!!!!… so many having been inspired by the vision, so many have joined the family… Burn has become this very special place that is alive, where we can exchange, develop friendship, learn, be inspired and above all see great photography… All this happened because fundamenally, David and his right hand Anton did believe that they could do something very special with us all… Who would have bet that day that Burn was going to become “Magazine of the year” less than one year later…. I even remember PDN writing an article that day saying how weird it was to try to craete an on-line magazine live and strange to brainstorm about the name on a blog live….well, without that Kelly would not have shared the winning name!!!!! I will stop here but witnessing this whole thing has really really exciting….whenever you think this cannot be done, think twice…. BURN, David are living examples tha when there is a will, when there is passion everything is possible…. Thanks so much David and Anton for this incredible ride and now, let’s all take BURN even to the next level what ever that is :):):):)…
Happy evening and cheers,
Eric
Congratulations David, Anton and all who published here !!
Peace
Thank you, Eric, for your inspiring words. You bring back so many memories. I was not in the loft with you folks during those December days when you midwifed David’s dream into being, but I remember FEELING like I was there. The energy in that room fairly crackled across the miles/kms, and part of that was because DAH invited us to participate live on that fateful December 11th day…
http://www.burnmagazine.org/dialogue/2008/12/live-from-the-kibbutz/#comments
That’s how it’s been from the start. Our visionary David hatches these amazing ideas but he ALWAYS includes us in the process. No ego, no “this is mine, don’t f***k with it” kind of attitude. It is ALWAYS a collaborative venture. I don’t know if folks remember how we kept trying different ways to make a place for comments, ways that would respect the work yet keep this an interactive forum. We have our own Jim Powers to thank for suggesting the “one comment per photo essay” idea. And it’s worked great.
So now that we are offically The Photographic Magazine of the Year 2009, it will be interesting to see where we go from here. We all know that DAH has been doing everything he can to interest sponsors in Burn so he can have the fuunds to commission work from iconic and emerging photogs. We also know we need funds to pay Anton and, hopefully, more staff who can lighten the load behind the scenes. But I also know that David doesn’t want us to get too big or too organizational. That’s not his or our style. We’re all about organic growth, about puushing the boundaries, about staying true to our unique sense of authorship.
Oh my god, this is SO EXCITING!!! Aren’t we lucky to be part of this community? And we’ll need to be especially sensitive to being welcoming to ALL. Yes, some of us have been together for awhile, but think of how important some of our more recent Burnians are to the mix. I mean, can you imagine Burn without A Civilian Mass Audience??? WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE!!!
Patricia
Congratulations to all!
Patricia, Eric, exactly
was thinking of a possible PDN headline :)
Burn Magazine is the Photography Magazine of the Year: WHAT NOT TO LOVE
Yeah, what’s not to love???
Just came home from a long shift, ready to fall into my bed – and then: those fantastic news!
Congratulations, David, Anton, ALL!!! And of course Kerry for the publication!!! ;-)
It’s a blast! BURN, baby, BURN!
Good night from Germany… D.
From foto8 Magazine’s Twitter feed:
“foto8 FOAM, Aperture, other mags ignored Lucie best mag “award”. winner nascient website. how “innovative” to give real, viable print the finger.”
PDNpulse has a headline:
Burn Becomes First Online-Only Publication to Win a Lucie
Last night at the Lucie Awards, Photography Magazine of the Year went to Burn, the online publication edited by photographer David Alan Harvey.
It’s a milestone: This is the first time the Photography Magazine of the Year award has recognized an all-electronic publication. It’s also significant that Burn, which launched less than a year ago, has already established itself as a leading venue for photo stories.

yahah!! what not to love!
WE proved ourselves… right..
And WE ridiculed our enemies…
How many many many many many or
should I say NUMEROUS times we have
been attacked in the past by all kinds
of pessimists and jealous haters..
Many predicted our fall..
Due to FREEDOM OF SPEECH…
NO RULES ( laughing … Except Jims one comment per person..:)
no communist manifests or MANIFESTOS..
no stupid gear talk.. ( unless it’s a Leica of course..;)
MUSIC EVERYWHERE..
beer.. Sex and rock n roll..
Or should I say RAP…!!!
many left hoping that WE will sink…
Many laughed at us ( see Flickr HCSP for example )
many called DAH a RISKY editor..
And this and that..
Many called us NOT INTELLECTUAL ENOUGH..
all kinds of names and negativity..
Don Quixote wins this time..huh..
Now as Eric said it’s time for the
NEXT LEVEL ONCE AGAIN…
which is shoot , shoot and shoot and
shut up and work harder ..
and yes you will be published in burn..
So, once again..
To all of out haters out there…:
“we ain’t going nowhere..we are here to stay”…
Viva BURN….
:))))))

Congratulations David and Anton! It’s been incredible to watch this online magazine mature into an award winning publication. Burn is a daily source of inspiration and entertainment. Thanks to both of you for all you do.
Adding inclusiveness to the mix of great ideas and out of the oven pops BURN. Smells like inspiration to me.
Wow! I never saw this until now. Great news.

REIMAR
Stimmt, es ist der Hammer! :-)
Wir sollten auch mal skypen (absolutlassal) … bin froh, dass es Dir besser geht.
ALL….
many many thanks for your kind words of support…..i know that you know that i will take this award as peer group validation and mostly as impetus for improving Burn as best we can… the primary intent of course to show your work and continue your discussion to an international audience…my aim all along has been to change the landscape of what a “photography magazine” can be….not a magazine just for photographers, but for all who value photography as one means of journalistic awareness and artistic expression….
this is your magazine, your award, your vehicle for reaching a wide audience….use it….make this your place, your way, to reach an appreciative and eager audience…the imminent technology that is about to come at us now like a freight train, will only add to the influence we will have in the coming year…take a deep breath…think clearly…..now is the time for you to really show what you can do , state what you believe, and help to bring our craft and our art on to the next playing field of communication….
the responsibility for what we can really be is upon all of us now….obviously resting on my shoulders and on Anton’s, but just as much on yours…we have flipped the equation…done something new….this audience drives this train….please take this seriously….i certainly will…..
oh yes, i will try to get a new dialogue post up by tomorrow….i have a house full of people making books…pictures all over my walls, fire in the fireplace, cat sleeping on the mantle next to Lucie…sun bright…..congratulations to all of you…
peace, hugs, cheers, david
