The venerable Shots mag- azine, an alternative magazine for art, student and outsider photography (my description, not theirs) founded by Dan Price, is issuing a call for work, for its annual Portfolio Issue. There's a small submission fee. "Photographers selected for
inclusion will be interviewed for publication and featured on at least 4
pages...."
I don't think I've seen it since Dan was in charge, but back then, at least, there was always interesting stuff in Shots. Might be just the thing if you're not finding regular outlets for your work, but I suggest you take a look through at least one issue before submitting.
it is a great magazine. lots of dreamy, alternative viewpoints, as well as provocative essays. i think it is one of the best photo mags out there, along with lenswork and a couple others. (Disclaimer - i have been published in lenswork, but not made it into shots yet).

When I was a grad student (in molecular biology) I had to divide my income (in ascending order of importance) between magazines, movies, science books, rent, film, food, and coffee. And Shots was the only photo publication that I subscribed to, because it was the only one that routinely yielded surprises. Time to re-subscribe. Thanks for the reminder, Mike.
