I know, we can’t wait, either.  But till we go live, check out his blog.

Join Jennifer as a published photographer! YARN is searching for amazing images to illustrate upcoming poetry, fiction and essays.

YARN is searching for images that capture the eye, are artistic in nature, and that surprise us.  We are excited by photographers that play with light and color…we are not so excited by vacation photos.  (Well, I mean, they’re really cool and all…but probably won’t artistically fit someone else’s words.)

Please check our submission guidelines for specifics on how to submit photography.

For our fall line-up, we already need images of  the following: microwave, microwave meal, a bagel, junk food, bottle(s) of water, swimming pool for laps, a gym, a paring knife (preferably Japanese), a crucifix on chain (worn by a man, even better), a Star of David, a smoky club, a band playing, a tatoo of numbers on an arm, a tatoo of a swastika, an arm with scars on it, a soccer field, a baseball/mitt/bat, a bb gun, a football, an alarm clock, a school hallway, a “we need to talk” text or IM, kissing, a pirate, a gypsy, Oreos, Halloween candy, a fence, a lion, a diamond ring.

Whew!  That’s a lot.  But keep in mind that we’re always happy receive other kinds of images–if you’ve got great pics, send them on!
