Shooting Gallery is a new project by my good friend Jennilee Marigomen (curator of the best tumblr on the internet). It’s a collection of videos of photographers shooting and talking, and sometimes not talking at all. You can learn so much from just watching a person work.
Check it out here.
I just received news that Sraunus will be shown in North America for the first time at Drop In/Drop Out / BYOB Vancouver!
Full details below!
It is a little overwhelming for me to look at how much this place has grown in the last 12 months. Our monthly traffic now tops 3.2 million pageviews with visitors coming from more than 200 different countries. More than 27,000 of you follow Booooooom on Twitter, and our Facebook family has grown to nearly 42,000!
So I want to thank all of you! It was your support for the site that allowed me to bring our Small Victories show to Hong Kong and then follow it up with another show here in Vancouver! It was also your incredible submissions to our Little Drifters project that spread all over the internet like dandelion seeds, inspiring people as far away as Armenia to launch similar projects. The kind of community we have here is rare, I don’t see it on any other site. Thanks for spending so much time around here, commenting on articles, getting involved in projects, sharing links on Twitter, and interacting with each other on Facebook! I feel really blessed to call this a job.
This next year I’ll be doing my best to continue cultivating a community of creative people (and aliteration). I will continue hunting and gathering art but I also have a few things planned that are bigger than anything I’ve attempted so far. So I’m a little anxious. It’s good to be anxious I think! I hope my successes this year outnumber my failures, but if I don’t fail a bunch in 2011 it will mean I didn’t try hard enough.
Last year I posted 64 photos by 64 photographers.
This year I’ve collected 75 photos by 75 photographers that I came across in 2010. These photos weren’t necessarily produced this year, I simply encountered them for the first time in the last 12 months.
I’m gonna take a week off and spend Christmas holidays with my family. I’ll be back at it first week of January!
Happy New Year you guys! Enjoy the photos!

My friends at 01 Magazine are bringing an absolutely amazing group show to New York next week. Here is a selection of some of the artists that will be showing! Lots of Vancouverites!
Everyone please give a warm welcome to my friend, Jennilee Marigomen! She’s going to contribute a little bit over the next two weeks, while I’m away in Hong Kong. She’s a talented photographer, the brains behind Stream, and the art director of 01 Magazine.
I’ll still be around, I just wanted to let you all know that for the first time ever there will be another voice on Booooooom (if only for a short time).
Heads up Toronto! The 01 Magazine group show is goin’ down at 107 Shaw Gallery this Thursday (March 11 @ 7PM). The line up of people showing work is STUPID! Get out there and enjoy it!
