“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you are wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art – write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”
– Neil Gaiman
“I really believe there are things no one would see if I didn’t photograph them.”
– Diane Arbus
“Life is amazing. And then it’s awful. And then it’s amazing again. And in between the amazing and the awful it’s ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That’s just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it’s breathtakingly beautiful.”
– L.R. Knost
We wanted to take a quick moment and update all of you on some of the new and exciting things coming very soon for Sham of the Perfect in 2016.
1. We are getting a grown up website! This blog will still be here, and you will still be able to find us at the same spot on Facebook and Instagram, but soon we will be able to link you to our new and improved home on the internet.
2. Sham of the Perfect will continue to be sharing your images on our Facebook page and posting a top 5 on our blog monthly. However, we are now accepting Documentary Favorites so that we can see your best and favorite work all day, everyday.
3. There are going to be new opportunities for you to be featured! We will still accept portfolio submissions for featured artists, but we will also be accepting submissions for personal projects, sessions, as well as, a new critique feature where you can submit a photo and ask for critiques from 3 of our collective contributors!
We are so excited to have you all with us for 2016!
