Well I’ve decided to enter a few images into the IPA08 contest, but I just can’t decide which ones to enter. So I’m asking anyone to nominate thier 4 favorite images by replying here (or, if you have a DeviantArt account, you can reply to my journal at http://kickstart.deviantart.com).
I will be taking nominations for about a week, then depending on how many images are nominated try to narrow it down myself, or put up another public vote.
Please browse the gallery section here and just reply with the name of the images that you’d like to nominate.
New for the front page is a “Recent Print Additions” block. This will show the last 4 print additions to the gallery. When you click on the thumbnails, you’ll be taken to the gallery where those prints reside. For example, if the last print to be added was a 2007 landscape photo, you’ll be taken to the 2007 landscapes gallery.
Unfortunately, I haven’t yet figured out how to link directly to the specific image within the gallery program, and I don’t want to change to another gallery system as I’ve put too many hours of work into the current one.
Finally figured out a way to present the blog’s news items on the main FSP website (chances are you are seeing this via the syndication). I’m trying to redesign the front page, as well at give some of the other pages a makeover so bear with us until I get it finished.
I’ve taken the time to compile an article on DeviantArt policies pertaining to the Artistic Nude gallery. This article contains pretty much everything you need to know about what is allowed/not allowed to be posted in the Artistic Nude gallery, as well as some examples of what would be better suited for your scraps gallery.
Our self titled book is now available through lulu.com! This book is a collection of the past three years of Artistic Nude photography. With almost 200 full color pages, it makes a nice addition to anyone’s photo book collection.
Thats right, we’re finally getting a chance to go to Burning Man this year! We’re uber excited and have photo ideas running rampart in our minds. 
We’ll be joining a theme camp with some friends this year, the name of the camp is Dust Bowl (its going to be a bowling alley), so be sure to come check it out and say “hi” if you’re gunna be at BM this year.
Also, we would like to meet up with some models (or anyone) that would be willing to participate in some desert scenery nudes. Burning Man is a unique place for Artistic Nude photography, mainly because most people that attend BM wouldn’t even pay any mind to a naked person wandering around with a photographer in tow. So, if you (or someone you know) are interested, feel free to send us an email with your contact info so we can get a meet-up scheduled.
I’ve decided to bring back the FSP Newsblog in order to provide more information about us and about the website. Hopefully i’ll be able to update this on a regular basis, we’ll see
