Hey guys, full disclosure here, I work for an advertising agency that's doing a promotion right now for Lamb's Rum. I apologize sincerely for spamming you, but we're giving away a camera on Thursday and we'd love to make sure it lands in the hands of someone that really appreciates it.

All you have to do is visit facebook.com/lambsblacksheep and follow the instructions from there.

Again, sorry for the spam, but hope it finds its way to one of you!

Contact 918, now in its second year, creates an international online forum for photographers. Throughout the month of May, a selection of photographs submitted through this website will be showcased as part of a running video projection in the 918 Bathurst Cultural, Arts, Media and Education Centre open to all audiences for the Contact Photography Festival. It emerges as an exciting digital playground that connects photographers and communities by linking the virtual with the physical.

The aim of Contact 918 is to create new communities through the medium of photography using the Internet as a meeting ground. Contact 918 is the culmination of images from an online network of international photographers. This global initiative is an inclusive forum for photographers to become part of a video projection to be broadcast at 918 Bathurst.

THEME: PERVASIVE INFLUENCE
Photographic submissions should reflect this year's thematic focus, Pervasive Influence. Photographers should submit images that will explore the transformation of photography alongside the shifting social, political and cultural events of our times. Contact 918, like the Contact Photography Festival, will feature images that consider the ways in which photography informs and transforms human behavior.

Entries must be submitted anytime before April 30th to ensure that they be submitted for entry for this year's projection screenings at 918 Bathurst. By submitting an entry, each entrant agrees to the Official Rules and warrants that his or her entry complies with all requirements set out in the Official Rules and that the decisions of the Judges are final and binding with respect to all matters related to Contact 918. Please note that entries received after the April 30th deadline will still appear as part of the online network though they may not be considered for event screenings.

The Contact 918 event runs from every Wednesday through Saturday from April 28th to May 29th at 918 Bathurst: Culture, Arts, Media & Education. We are located at 918 Bathurst Street (One block north of Bloor St.)

To submit your photos and find out about the rules, go to www.contact918.com

Stephen Shore.

For chronicling the banal and every day of modern life in a way that is often straight-ahead truthful (and equally banal!), but always cautionary.

Authenticity.
My favorite is Nan Goldin, and though I had seen her work many times in print and online there was something special about seeing it in person. I had an opportunity to see her do a slide show last summer in London at the Tate Modern and it was so real and moving. Especially at the end when they list all the names in memory, and you feel like you knew these people too, and you can feel how loved they were. There is something so human about her documentary work, something that transcends the subject matter and moves into territory that is urgent and essential to everyone. As always it inspires, but more than that it really urges me to be thankful for the people I know, and the time we have together.
