Another Day, Another Print
Brian Auer and six other fine art photographers have teamed up to bring you Fine Art Photoblog and have promised “fresh photos posted every day from one of the seven amazing artists.” That’s a pretty bold claim - it isn’t very easy to produce something worth printing, not to mention selling, on such a regular schedule. These guys, however, are poised to prove it’s possible.
I’ve already got a favorite image in the bunch, but I’m not going to reveal it here. If you want to find out what it is, check out the site yourself and figure it out. I bet you’ll find something you’ll like and forget why you went there in the first place.
Anyway, pasted below is the press release for Fine Art Photoblog.
Fine Art Photoblog Launched at www.fineartphotoblog.com
A New Website Providing Unique Services to the Art-Interested Public, Being a Cross Between Gallery, Photoblog and Search Engine
SAN DIEGO, CA February 11, 2008 - Fine Art Photoblog announces the launch of a unique new website, offering the discerning art buyer opportunities that have so far not been available.
In the manner of a photoblog, seven internationally acclaimed fine art photographers work together, publishing a work of fine art photography daily; every day another photographer, each photographer once per week. The works will be up for purchase in two variants, targeting two groups of buyers.
In the manner of a gallery, the website will acquire and permanently display the works of seven great photographers. An extensive search interface completes the offer, providing capabilities to search for artists, keywords, and certain characteristics of the photographs (horizontal or vertical orientation, colors, etc.).
Right from the start, all works will be available in two qualities:
- as high-quality but unsigned prints from printing services such as Imagekind.com or RedBubble.com (at the discretion of the photographer). These are printed in sizes and on papers of the customer’s choice. They are shipped matted, framed and glazed, according to the customer’s wishes.
- as definitive and collectible signed prints of the highest quality available called The Work. In case of digital prints, The Work will be available in only one size, perfectly fitting the characteristics of the image and printed on exquisite fine art paper of the artist’s choice, either by the artist himself or by a fine art printer under the direction of the artist. The Work is the unique expression of the artist’s creative power.

I’m already looking for something I can hang on a wall. Yes, I’m bound to hang a lot of my own prints, but I’m guessing at least one of these images will join that mix. Who knows, maybe you’ll end up getting one too. Enjoy!
