As important as it is to have the right gear, having the proper bag to lug it around in is just as vital.
That’s why we’re so excited to announce The Photoletariat’s Bag-a-Day Giveaway!
Every day next week, we’re going to be giving away one bag to a lucky newsletter subscriber. You can win either a top-of-the-line Lowepro or Think Tank camera bag.
If you’re already registered to receive The Photoletariat’s weekly newsletter, then you’re already in the running for one of these bad boys. If you aren’t registered, well, what are you waiting for?
Here are some great links for your Thursday!
- You can now apply for the Arts Writers Grant, which is “designed to encourage and reward writing about contemporary art that is rigorous, passionate, eloquent and precise.” Bloggers, authors, and “short-form” writers are all eligible for the $3K-$50K award (via Zoe Strauss)
- Speaking of Zoe Strauss (one of The Photoletariat’s favorite contemporary photographers), the “Zoe Strauss: 10 Years” retrospective, celebrating her career thus far and her incredible I-95 project, is slated for early 2012 at the Philadelphia Art Museum. Congrats, Zoe!
- A Photo Editor has a great article up this week with tips for young creatives, including, but not limited to “When you meet new people, remember Dale Carnegie.”

There are some truly amazing images in TIME Magazine’s recent 2010 best photos roundup. And there are a ton of best-of lists around the web claiming to sum up the year in great pictures. But looking at all these slideshows made me wonder: what images were neglected, which didn’t receive the publicity they deserved?
What do YOU think was the best image of 2010? Or, what was your favorite image of all the photos YOU took in the past year?
Please leave your answers/thoughts/links in the comments!
