JPG Magazine Says Goodbye

I received a very sad e-mail this morning from JPG Magazine announcing they will be shuttering their site on Monday January 5th.  In the e-mail they site a lack of funds and troubling economic times as the reasons they cannot continue. It’s unfortunate any time you hear about a worthwhile project going under but I was a fan and subscriber of JPG. I’m not an avid photographer but I am an avid picture viewer and their magazines made great coffee table books. JPG, I’m sorry to see you go… you will be missed!

Update:

Well, it looks like they might have spoken too soon. After the CEO of JPG Magazine announced the magazine would be closing up shop they have received interest from a number of companies including Flickr and Smugmug in regards to acqusition. From the tone on the blogs and such it sounds like a deal is farily certain. Woohoo… JPG might not be closing after all.
