A new Photo Magazine will be released today – The DMUMAG.

DMU stands for “DeleteMe Uncensored” and is a very active Flickr group of amateur and professional photographers. The idea behind the group is that someone adds a picture to the group pool and other members vote on the photo with either “save” or “delete”. If an image reaches 10 save votes before 10 deletes, it gets added to “The Lightbox” – a pool of the finest pictures in Flickr.

That’s what this new magazine is made of – “Lightbox” pictures. The first issue covers interviews with the top contributors, a history of the DMU by Thomas Hawk, plus a Photo Essay about his $2 project and collection of the best black and white images – taken from the “Lightbox”, of course.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank the driving force behind the magazine: Ivan Makarov. Special thanks also go to Charlotte Reynolds who designed the magazine from scratch – you’re a master, Charlotte!

You can check the DMUMag.com website or go directly to the DMUMag section on our publishers website to place the order.

Unfortunately, Magcloud currently only ships to the USA, Canada and the UK. If you live in a different country and would be interested in getting a copy of the magazine, fill out the form on the contacts page and we will give our best to send you an issue.

Below pictures are a collection from a recent trip to the Six Flags Great Adventure Park in Jackson, NJ.

One of the pictures even made it to the front page of Flickr’s Explore and I thought I’m going to show the original version (Aperture calls it the Master) of that image just to show the capabilities of Aperture and its Plugins.

I took this picture on our trip to Washington D.C. in the metro station near the National Zoo. More DC pictures can be found in my DC Flickr Set.

The Apple Store on 5th Ave in New York is one of the most photographed landmarks in the world (Source: http://www.iphonesavior.com/2009/04/fifth-avenue-apple-store-among-worlds-most-photographed-landmarks.html). There is good reason for that as this construction (I don’t call it building) looks amazing at every time of the day, especially at night when it rains.

I took this shot inside the 5th Ave Apple Store on the way to @ricksammon ’s presentation at the Explorer’s club last night #photog #photography
