A Photo Editor (APE) Promo

Rob Haggart, the formerly anonymous, former Director of Photography at Men's Journal and Outside magazine tried a little experiment in photographer promotion. He put out a call for entries on his very popular blog asking photographers to submit their freshest images to be considered for inclusion in a free online slideshow he'd make available to art directors, photo editors and art buyers. A monumental task when you consider over 1,300 photographers participated. From this, a pool of 297 images/photographers was chosen for the final slideshow.

I made the cut.

Rob posted that if no one included in his slideshow got any new work as a result of this promotion, he'd consider the experiment a failure. So if you are an art buyer, photo editor or art director—do it for Rob. Call me.
