You can now purchase the first issue of JPG Magazine, created by local bloggerstars Derek Powazek and Heather Powazek Champ. This is an actual, printed book of beautiful photos culled from dozens of talented photographers who like to share and discuss their work on the internet.

JPG Magazine is for people who love imagemaking without attitude. It's about the kind of photography you get when you love the moment more than the camera. It's for photographers who, like us, have found themselves online, sharing their work, and would like to see that work in print.

The first issue, Origin, asked photographers to muse on the topic visually. They'll start accepting submissions soon for their next issue, Lost. Check back on the magazine site for more news and updates. SFist would like to wish Derek and Heather the best of luck on this exciting project.
