    DAVID/DAH

    I know you are not into networking or awards for that matter, but we sure are with you tonight as you sit in the Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center surrounded by iconic and emerging and everyday photographers, gallery owners, editors and publishers, folks from the advertising and fashion worlds, and probably celebrities as well. We are so proud of you and Anton and what you have created here with Burn. Whether or not Burn wins a Lucie award, it is a blazing *STAR* in our sky, always burning bright and with pure passion!

    Now, be sure to let us know what happens, OK?

    hugs

    I am so excited for DAH, Anton and all the Burnians. Congratulations to everyone for their hard, incredible work. Ok, enough celebrating. Time to go shoot.

    Oh Wendy, your post sent me back into the archives, to a thread David posted on Road Trips almost exactly one year ago (October 24, 2009 to be exact). He ends by saying:

    “so, i think we now sink or swim….choice 100% up to you…not me….i cannot pull off my totally energized ideas now of an online magazine, to be manifested in print as well, without all of you lending a hand…some of you perhaps more “hands on” than others, but we “sink or swim” on the “whole” …i believe we are in a position to do great things…unique…first class ticket….i think most of you smell this too…

    our interaction is unparalleled in blogland…you must know that….we have been “here” for each other time and time again…but, should we take the “next step”?? it is not that “all good things come to an end”…it is that “he who hesitates is lost” or some other tried and true phrase that i cannot think of right now that connotes something like “what the hell, why not give it a shot?” see, i know already that one of the brilliant writers here will “set this up” just right and be most eloquent…..

    yes, everything does seem to be a bit of a mess….it seems that worldwide, things could swing one way or the other….we all feel it….there is promise, there is potential disaster…so, what do we do with our little microcosm of life?? let it stall, or make it fly with the wind???

    “troubled waters” or “sea of change” ????”

    Well, I guess we know the answer to THAT question!!! Sea of change indeed. And as Katharina so aptly says, Burn is ALL of us, not just David and Anton. We’ve ridden some pretty rough waves together and now we’re here to celebrate. Bravo to all Burnians! What’s not to love???

    burn is a WINNER
    fantastic stuff… well worth all those beers and smokes you donated to the lucie judges, eh? :o)

    i still think the only way to get work is to do work.. find a place for it.. publish.. and then do more work..
    a ‘network’ of one editor will do that.. one client..

    right.. burn is ‘working’ and burn is getting noticed..

    brilliant stuff.. so proud of everyone contributing thoughts and pictures..
    wake up europe.. it’s a sunny day.

    ALL…

    as i said from the stage tonight, Burn is an audience driven magazine…YOU won….ok, i have had too much tequila to write any more….now, we really have a lot of work to do…FYI, this was not an online category…the others in this category were print magazines…….in any case, i hope a simple thanks from the bottom of my heart will suffice for the moment…

    hugs, cheers, david

  28. AndreaC

    David, Anton Congratulations! Fantastic news. But I knew it. I knew you’d win even though I hardly know most of the other contenders. Burn has a winner’s aura. You had to win. As the Burn motto goes WHAT NOT TO LOVE! You thought you were busy before…. I’m so proud to a part of Burn. Thank you for being here or us, David and Congratulations everyone.

  29. alvarezphoto

    Congratulations to all but particularly to David. David, you have reinterpreted the photo essay. One of the most important things you are doing is proving that there is an audience for good, inventive visionary storytelling. Magazines are failing because they shoot for the lowest common denominator.
    Burn doesn’t, its pure.

    THANKS AUDREY! :-)))))

    I wonder if the nomination and acceptance have been video-ed. I hope so. David looked pretty dapper for the occasion. Our man in black! (or is that Bruce Willis…. nahhh, that’s David!).

    Just a word for 2 great sites that also deserve more than mention, for the dedication of their owners and the quality of photography and information: Pete Marovich’s 37th frame, and Ka-set, about Cambodia today, by John Vink and friends. With BURN, my Olympic podium 2009.

  39. Mark W

    Unbelievable. Congratulations to maestros Anton, David, and all the photographers who have shown here. The journey continues. Great things coming.

  46. Lassal

    I tried to stay awake to see who wins but lost the fight against sleep. Even woke up late this morning (because of keeping up so late)
    Oh man, I am so so happy! Congratulations to all – but most of all to DAH and Anton, who spent nightshifts after nightshifts putting BURN togehter. And who had the guts and believes to do it even though funding was not secured.

    I remember well sitting in Perpignan last fall, a little more than a year ago, in front of Café de la Poste, with a huge RoadTrip group brainstorming about what would become BURN only shortly after. That was before BURN had a name. And right after that DAH did an edit on Lance’s Thirst for Grid photographs right there … An essay we were lucky to have seen developing and published on BURN later.

    And I remember that Anton almost did not make it to Perpignan … :-))))
    Wow … I am sooooo glad he did eventually.

    I still have some pictures of that event in front of Café de la Poste. Will see to it that I find them.

    Once again … CONGRATULATIONS to all!!!! This is really something to be so proud of!!
    Geez… what a day! :)))

    David, Anton, and all those Burn contributors.

    To receive this recognition when up against some of the long established print magazines is truly a great achievement. Does this suggest that Burn – as a model for publishing photography – is the future? Perhaps. The rate that editorial publications are laying off staff and cutting costs indicates that we may be experiencing a revolution in the publishing world.

    For me, the printed page still has great value and importance, but it has to have quality work printed on it, and that is getting harder and harder to find.

    If the quality work ends up on on-line publications, then that is where the readers will look.

    Burn winning the Lucie suggests that this is already happening.

    Burn now has to forget all of this fuss and keep focused and keep moving forward, as I’m sure it will.

    Well done. I’m pleased to have contributed and see my essay up there with a lot of great work.

    Cheers,

    Justin

  55. John Vink

    Hervé, thanks for mentioning Ka-set.

    Unfortunately being a photographer doesn’t make me the best of managers, and journalists are not necessarily good fundraisers…

    A few mistakes, no possibility to implement Paypal in Cambodia and Ka-set ran out of money last May. We had to let go of our staff, Stéphanie Gée and myself “manning” the site to at least keep covering the Khmer Rouge Trial.

    So…. Ka-set is finished, unless someone wants to take it over?

    In those two years I have learned a LOT though (and lost a bunch of money)…

    NO REGRETS…

  57. benroberts

    congratulations on the award; justification for a great deal of hard work.

    regarding Justyn’s comment:

    “Does this suggest that Burn – as a model for publishing photography – is the future?”

    my opinion would be that until there is decent financial renumeration for online publishing of photography in the style of Burn, then it won’t be my future! As nice as it is (or in my case would be, as i haven’t had anything published on burn) to have something published on an online magazine, until it pays my rent i won’t see it as the future for publishing photography.

    the question is – who is going to pay photographers what they deserve for online content? I make decent enough sales through my picture agency – Picturetank in Paris – and its all for printed media….

  58. bob black

    Congratulations David, Anton! Congratulations to all the Photographers who have been pubished. Congratulations to all the writers/commentators who have written. Congratulations to all the donators who have donated. Congratulations to all the readers (silent and vocal) who’ve carried the work on their shoulders. The award bestowed best upon the audience, for Burn really is the readership, above all else.

    for david, anton, michael, kerry, tom, chris, anne marie, eric, andrew, erica, marketing expert from ogilvy (sorry, i’ve forgotten his name), and yes, even bob, all those long hours you all deserve a drink….and then some…

    “Does this suggest that Burn – as a model for publishing photography – is the future?”

    It’s not a publishing model for publishing photography unless you have a famous magnum photographer as editor and publisher. Burn Magazine is David Harvey, and can’t continue beyond him.

  62. Justin Partyka

    BENROBERTS,

    Sorry, my point was perhaps a bit vague there.

    I totally agree with you there – expecting to publish for free online cannot be the future to sustain photographers or quality photographic work.

    However DAH has indicated numerous times on Burn that the plan is to offer paid assignments to photographers and the work would then be published on Burn. If the funding starts to come in to support this, then it could very well be the future, or at least part of it.

    As I noted in my post, I value the physical printed page over online content – heck I’m still working away with film, but I feel it is important to have an open mind when it comes to online publishing. After all it is still early days and a lot could happen.

    Cheers,

    Justin

  69. Akaky

    Is there a Desi award? I don’t think Desi ever got the recognition he deserved. He was one of the best straight men in the business. I know this will cause controversy, but I’d put him on the same plane as Margaret Dumont, Edgar Bergen, and George Burns, although I think he’d have to be in economy class with Edgar Kennedy, but that’s just my opinion.

    ” this category will include online photography magazines in addition to traditional print magazines with the emphasis on acknowledging great vision and execution regardless of the platform.”

    GREAT VISION INDEED!

    I couldn’t wake up this morning because I was deep in a dream, we were all at the loft, there was another burn gallery opening and sales were happening, we actually had sort of a print on demand service going on with a curated selection of available prints which we kept the files for instead of prints. When a buyer had chosen we could print it then and there with some kind of ‘erica mcdonald for burn gallery’ stamp mark that was printed too..and then later we had a workshop, with kids there and a team of us made a hands on mm piece with them..there was a dog too David, I hope you don’t mind I let the little ones and a dog in, I held the dog the whole time.

    LET”s GO

  77. Brian Frank

    Awesome. Congrats David, Anton and all the Burnians. I’m always curious to hear the thought processes that go into such decisions. What was the deciding factor, etc.

    Today has been a great day, filled with positive vibes after the pleasant surprise of this morning and this fantastic Lucie Award. Like most of you, above all, I have been happy to see the hard work of Anton and the vision of David recognized. This whole BURN “experiment” is really turning into a life lesson for me that is very inspiring…. I remember the cold day back in Dec last year during which some of us flew to New York and brainstormed until the early hours of the morning with David in his loft to come up with a name for the magazine…. David was just so so excited with the possibilities, what we could create together…. Everything was already in his head from day one….the magazine, the mixing of emerging and experienced photographers, the gallery, even the T-shirts…it all came there, from David or the happy few that were lucky enough to see the birth of what has become BURN today…. of course, David did not do it all by himself and Anton has clearly been the force behind and many of you have helped and given a hand along the way but I remember that day vividly, the camaraderie, the energy, the sense that we could move mountains if we were committed to… I was just there not because I could do much but because I wanted to be part of it or at least witness it… I remember thinking at times whether David had been smoking something (the answer was YES!!!), whether this thing was going to take off….after all, as Pat said, we were just coming off some rough times on Road Trips but….the flame was there, burning in David…. by the way, already that day, Anton did the hard work designing the site…. now, as I am looking at this again, 10 months later, all I can say is waouh, what a journey!!!!… so many having been inspired by the vision, so many have joined the family… Burn has become this very special place that is alive, where we can exchange, develop friendship, learn, be inspired and above all see great photography… All this happened because fundamenally, David and his right hand Anton did believe that they could do something very special with us all… Who would have bet that day that Burn was going to become “Magazine of the year” less than one year later…. I even remember PDN writing an article that day saying how weird it was to try to craete an on-line magazine live and strange to brainstorm about the name on a blog live….well, without that Kelly would not have shared the winning name!!!!! I will stop here but witnessing this whole thing has really really exciting….whenever you think this cannot be done, think twice…. BURN, David are living examples tha when there is a will, when there is passion everything is possible…. Thanks so much David and Anton for this incredible ride and now, let’s all take BURN even to the next level what ever that is :):):):)…

    Happy evening and cheers,

    Eric

  109. Patricia Lay-Dorsey

    Thank you, Eric, for your inspiring words. You bring back so many memories. I was not in the loft with you folks during those December days when you midwifed David’s dream into being, but I remember FEELING like I was there. The energy in that room fairly crackled across the miles/kms, and part of that was because DAH invited us to participate live on that fateful December 11th day…

    https://www.burnmagazine.org/dialogue/2008/12/live-from-the-kibbutz/#comments

    That’s how it’s been from the start. Our visionary David hatches these amazing ideas but he ALWAYS includes us in the process. No ego, no “this is mine, don’t f***k with it” kind of attitude. It is ALWAYS a collaborative venture. I don’t know if folks remember how we kept trying different ways to make a place for comments, ways that would respect the work yet keep this an interactive forum. We have our own Jim Powers to thank for suggesting the “one comment per photo essay” idea. And it’s worked great.

    So now that we are offically The Photographic Magazine of the Year 2009, it will be interesting to see where we go from here. We all know that DAH has been doing everything he can to interest sponsors in Burn so he can have the fuunds to commission work from iconic and emerging photogs. We also know we need funds to pay Anton and, hopefully, more staff who can lighten the load behind the scenes. But I also know that David doesn’t want us to get too big or too organizational. That’s not his or our style. We’re all about organic growth, about puushing the boundaries, about staying true to our unique sense of authorship.

    Oh my god, this is SO EXCITING!!! Aren’t we lucky to be part of this community? And we’ll need to be especially sensitive to being welcoming to ALL. Yes, some of us have been together for awhile, but think of how important some of our more recent Burnians are to the mix. I mean, can you imagine Burn without A Civilian Mass Audience??? WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE!!!

    Burn Becomes First Online-Only Publication to Win a Lucie

    Last night at the Lucie Awards, Photography Magazine of the Year went to Burn, the online publication edited by photographer David Alan Harvey.

    It’s a milestone: This is the first time the Photography Magazine of the Year award has recognized an all-electronic publication. It’s also significant that Burn, which launched less than a year ago, has already established itself as a leading venue for photo stories.

    WE proved ourselves… right..
    And WE ridiculed our enemies…
    How many many many many many or
    should I say NUMEROUS times we have
    been attacked in the past by all kinds
    of pessimists and jealous haters..
    Many predicted our fall..
    Due to FREEDOM OF SPEECH…
    NO RULES ( laughing … Except Jims one comment per person..:)
    no communist manifests or MANIFESTOS..
    no stupid gear talk.. ( unless it’s a Leica of course..;)
    MUSIC EVERYWHERE..
    beer.. Sex and rock n roll..
    Or should I say RAP…!!!
    many left hoping that WE will sink…
    Many laughed at us ( see Flickr HCSP for example )
    many called DAH a RISKY editor..
    And this and that..
    Many called us NOT INTELLECTUAL ENOUGH..
    all kinds of names and negativity..
    Don Quixote wins this time..huh..
    Now as Eric said it’s time for the
    NEXT LEVEL ONCE AGAIN…
    which is shoot , shoot and shoot and
    shut up and work harder ..
    and yes you will be published in burn..
    So, once again..
    To all of out haters out there…:
    “we ain’t going nowhere..we are here to stay”…
    Viva BURN….
    :))))))

    Adding inclusiveness to the mix of great ideas and out of the oven pops BURN. Smells like inspiration to me.

    ALL….

    many many thanks for your kind words of support…..i know that you know that i will take this award as peer group validation and mostly as impetus for improving Burn as best we can… the primary intent of course to show your work and continue your discussion to an international audience…my aim all along has been to change the landscape of what a “photography magazine” can be….not a magazine just for photographers, but for all who value photography as one means of journalistic awareness and artistic expression….

    this is your magazine, your award, your vehicle for reaching a wide audience….use it….make this your place, your way, to reach an appreciative and eager audience…the imminent technology that is about to come at us now like a freight train, will only add to the influence we will have in the coming year…take a deep breath…think clearly…..now is the time for you to really show what you can do , state what you believe, and help to bring our craft and our art on to the next playing field of communication….

    the responsibility for what we can really be is upon all of us now….obviously resting on my shoulders and on Anton’s, but just as much on yours…we have flipped the equation…done something new….this audience drives this train….please take this seriously….i certainly will…..

    oh yes, i will try to get a new dialogue post up by tomorrow….i have a house full of people making books…pictures all over my walls, fire in the fireplace, cat sleeping on the mantle next to Lucie…sun bright…..congratulations to all of you…

    peace, hugs, cheers, david

    DAH

    I was just reading a short interview with you at PDNonline and again the comment was
    made that , “BURN will be a channnel of Magnum”

    I know you touched on this briefly in the past but is anything more concrete available to be shared
    as to what this actually means?

    Does it mean that BURN has a link on Magnum?
    Does it mean that published BURN content could be licensed through Magnum by prospective clients?

    Anything?

    Best,
    Mark

  161. Tommy

    Been busy for a few days and unable to check burn. And boy did I miss something BIG ;)

    Viva la vida burn

    DAH / Anton – Congrats!

    Deserved. Unique. Edgy. Expressive. Innovative. Creative. Alive. Burn.

    2 Men and a Laptop I believe was the phrase. What’s not to love.

  168. JKaranka

    Congratulations.

    Interesting to read that foto8 are disappointed. I can see their point when you have very strongly edited magazines out there like FOAM (it quite simply rocks). It’s quite a surprise that Burn made it over them… the jury of the award must have been looking forwards to a bit of a twist and opening up the definition of magazine.

    ……………………………………………………………………………….

    twist???
    Does FOAM has an Akaky? a CIVI? a BobB? a Jim ????????
    didnt think so………..;0

  170. Rafal Pruszynski

    Joni, but who reads foam? 5 people? Im exaggerating but FOAM has a very very small audience, especially compared to Burn, but even without comparing it to Burn it simply fills a small niche. Its a niche magazine but does not have nearly the impact that Burn does. While maybe the level of consistency of FOAM is higher than Burn, that doesnt make it better. I find Burn vastly more interesting than FOAM. Burn is dynamic, inclusive and encompases a wide variery of photography. FOAM is a niche magazine and thats it.

    Foam is different from Burn. It’s a fabulous read..all the interviews and different projects in the recent Talent edition are a total thrill. It was sent to me as a gift and i’ve been dragging it everywhere, looking and reading. BUT, can i get Foam in Costa Rica without paying an arm and a leg for it and even then maybe getting it hung up in Customs? NO! I can get Burn here by just turning on the compu’. I think that’s the point overall. Burn is the wave of the future though a magazine like Foam is pure unadulterated luxury..holding it in my hands, turning the pages, touching the images..no computer can ever equal the experience of a magazine’s look and feel. Burn is like a cake behind glass at the bakery. You can look but you can’t touch. Foam is 2000 calories of luscious, rich goo. They both work!

  172. Rafal Pruszynski

    I can touch the images just as well on Burn as I can in a magazine. The point isnt about touching, its about seeing. Its a visual art afterall, isnt it? FOAM is a small niche magazine. It has very little impact and as such lost the lucie. Foto8 can bitch and moan all they want, they are niche as well. Frankly, I wouldnt buy FOAM if I could, not for that price.

  173. Gordon Lafleur

    Rafal,Kathleen

    I love magazines, just ask my wife, they get way out of hand. I also love Burn and spend to much time on it.
    But I’m with you Kat. I love lounging on the couch with a magazine, or, my favourite, in a very hot 45 min bath. It just ain’t the same on a computer screen. I’ve never actually held a laptop on my lap, or my stomach. Besides, resolution on a computer screen sucks big time compared to print.

    Actually, you touch on another big difference and that’s the trouble with monitors. There’s the good, the bad and the ugly. There’s large, small, cheap, expensive, flat, CRT, laptops, Macs, PC’s, blackberries, and whatever the hell else there is out there. So an essay published here has to run a virtual gauntlet of viewing devices while the photographer cross her finger that her message is getting through. A magazine is what it is. The only difference is the kind of light reflecting off its pages. I guess i treasure a great photography magazine because they are not sold here. When i get one in my hands it’s, well, it’s just a huge deal. So where would i be without Burn? Screwed. But do i occasionally cheat with the real deal? mmm….yeah..

    Rafal, it’s not JUST about seeing! A book or magazine at its best is a very sensual experience. I don’t go to a museum just to see art. Part of the pleasure is actually being at the museum and much thought (and cash) goes into museum design and architecture to enhance that pleasure. I don’t buy a photo book to just see the photos but to hear the spine crack every so slightly and know i am the very first person to open that book and discover the miracles within. To feel and smell the silky–or stiff–or crisp–paper, to know how that paper bends, how it turns, how it falls into place over the page before it, to see the text, what kind of font was used, to read the words, always properly edited and all spellings just right, yes, to sink into the couch with that book, to arrange it on a table at a cafe just right so my cappuccino doesn’t spill on it. I don’t have a laptop so having the pleasure to peruse Burn at a cafe is not something i have ever enjoyed. But books? Magazines? ALL the time!

    Yes, Burn is the wave of the future but it is not the ultimate photography viewing experience to me. not by a long shot.

    Ok, ’nuff about this..take care, Both

    awww Wendy..you make me blush when you do that…it’s always like my words look and feel and sound so much better than they did in my own head.

    thanks, grrl

  177. Rafal Pruszynski

    Do you touch the mona lisa? Its behind inches of glass. Do you touch a rembrandt? Photography is about seeing and thinking. For me anyway touching means very little. A photograph should make you think. And whats best for thinking than the constant stream of work on Burn, and the ability to discuss and debate in real time? Magazines are dinosaurs. Sure, its nice to hold a magazine since you wont get electrocuted in a tub if it falls in the water so its not lethal, but what kind of relationship or communication can you have with a magazine? Thats where Burn totally stomps all over Foam or other magazines and Foto8 can kiss our asses and shut up.

  178. kathleen fonseca

    Rafal

    (haha, funny visual of getting electrocuted in the tub with a magazine)..It’s not about touching the Mona Lisa, sheesh, you can be so obtuse..BEING at the museum is part of the experience of SEEING and THINKING about the Mona Lisa. For me anyway! If it’s just about seeing the Mona Lisa i don’t have to go to the museum, all i have to do is google the bi*ch! kabish? Burn and Foam, et al, they’re ALL good! I love The New Yorker. But does that mean i don’t also read books? Or The Daily Beast? (my guilty pleasure) or go to a movie? i mean, c’mon, Rafal..move over and share the wealth..magazines, books, Burn, photos on walls, all good!

    best atcha

    Rafal, do we really have to dump on other magazines — print or online — to feel good about our winning the Lucie Award? Hey, man, let’s be a little gracious here. There’s nothing tackier than big-headed winners.

    “irrelevant print rag” Can’t online mags, and real mags and books co-exist side by side. Especially since they are completely different mediums and different experiences…

  187. Jerome C.

    We all agree, Burn rocks!
    BTW, when will the Burn “birthday special limited paper edition” be published?
    I’m already queuing…

  189. LindaO

    Congrats David, Anton and the rest of the BURN gang! Bravo!

    Dave — here’s hoping that your wish and vision for BURN that you shared at LOOK3 manifests. :)
