We&#8217;ve spent the last few months trying to make the business behind JPG sustain itself, and we&#8217;ve reached the end of the line. We all deeply believe in everything JPG represents, but we just weren&#8217;t able to raise the money needed to keep JPG alive in these extraordinary economic times. We sought out buyers, spoke with numerous potential investors, and pitched several last-ditch creative efforts, all without success. As a result, jpgmag.com will shut down on Monday, January 5, 2009.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I only really started paying attention to JPG properly in the last few months and uploaded a  handful of images to various themes. My profile, underused as it was, is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jpgmag.com\/people\/owenb\">here<\/a>, but I don&#8217;t know how much longer it&#8217;ll be online! So I wasn&#8217;t that active but it seemed like a great place for photographers to share their work and read about other photographers. It had the added benefit of avoiding ranking mechanisms, meaning everyone had a chance to be seen. They published an actual physical magazine as well as the digital version.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/groups\/jpgmag\/\">Flickr group<\/a> but personally I&#8217;ll just miss flicking through the digital issues of the mags and being amazed by some inspirational photographs.
