Cara Phillips of the blog Ground Glass has emerged as a photographer and blogger to watch. Her blog is clock a block full of insightful posts.
I’d like to highlight a few of her amazing recent posts, both of which made me want to re-dub her CPRC (Cara Phillips Resource Center). Surf on in here to see her curated list of great web sites and blogs (ours among them, thanks for the shout out!). Another doozie of a post was “To be a photographer,” with Cara’s own 2-cents of career do’s and don’ts.
Cara along with Amy Elkins launched the entity/site “Women in Photography.” Currenly, they are showcasing the work of Elinor Carucci. Best of all, they accept submissions on a rolling basis. From their mission:
There are more women working in the contemporary photo world then ever before. Their methods, choice of subject matter, visual language, and processes run the gamut of artistic possibility. What unites them is their passion and the effort they devote to creating extraordinary bodies of work. Women in Photography is a showcase for this work. It is also a resource for photographers, editors, curators, gallery owners, and viewers alike to discover and enjoy the work of female artists. By mixing the work of emerging photographers with artists that have achieved high levels of success within fine art and commercial worlds, the project is designed to open a visual dialogue and create a venue to share work, support, and ideas.
Women in Photography is co-curated by amy elkins and cara phillips. It will present a solo exhibition of work from select photographers every other Tuesday of the month.
Women in Photography is sponsored by humble arts foundation, and designed by made by brown.
