Pause, To Begin

A very interesting photography contest from Ethan Jones and David Wright:

Pause, to Begin is a unique, new photography competition currently
accepting applications now until April 1, 2008, and the selected
finalists will be announced online April 15, 2008. Ethan Jones and
David Wright, the founders of Pause, to Begin, will hit the road in
May, 2008 to visit the selected finalists and record the time they
experience together.

By traveling to meet the selected finalists in-person, Pause, to Begin
becomes a publication that reflects not only the visited photographers
and their process for creating, but also the journey of making the
book.

The word "pause" implies a stop to see, feel, and understand what one
is photographing. We believe that by pausing the true potential of a
photograph can be realized, discovered, and expanded upon. This
allows one to "begin" to explore one's own photography.

The first year of Pause, to Begin culminates in November, 2008 with
the release of a limited edition, hard-bound fine art book that is
distributed to important creatives in the photographic industry and
available online for purchase. The selected photographers will also
be exhibited at a to-be announced gallery that will coincide with the
book release celebration.
