Blueeyes is Back!
Some good news. . . . Blueeyes Magazine, the online documentary photography magazine devoted to publishing new long-term project work, recently relaunched after a year absence.
Issue number 11 is now available via the Blueeyes website, and features work by Toshiki Senoue and Allison V. Smith
Blueeyes was created in 2003, by a group of friends from the Missouri School of Journalism in response to declining editorial space for documentary images. They write on the stie “Blueeyes is a movement against negative trends in photojournalism that have limited the freedom, self-expression, and evolution of documentary photography as a young medium of mass communication. The magazine strives to publish longer, more personal, and more intricate bodies of work, in direct contrast to the traditional models of the newspaper photo story or the over-simplified, stereotypical coverage of broadcast journalism outlets. While many publications, both in print and online, are happy to regurgitate the same pictures from the same photographers ad nauseam, we are trying to champion unpublished and unheralded work from mainly younger photographers. All of this is in a simple effort to understand our selves and our world more clearly.”
