UVODNIK
Blur magazine is project founded and run by photography enthusiasts, and volunteers from all parts of Croatia. Aiming at achieving high quality content, the magazine is published quarterly in PDF format so it can easily be downloaded, saved and browsed through every now and then. It is only available on the Internet, in order to avoid high cost distribution fees, break territorial borders and reach every single part of the Earth, free of charge. It is because of its cosmopolitan nature that Blur is edited simultaneously in Croatian and English. Though initially established under the name of Bulb at the close of 2007, in September 2009, it changed its editorial board, refreshed its team of collaborators and, using a bit more ‘blurry’ name, Blur now heads for new challenges.
Maybe to someone it will look a bit ridiculous when I say that we in BLUR magazine strive to be like the Enterprise crew from Star Trek. As silly as it sounds, that’s the truth. On one hand, we like the idea of presence in an infinite space, in our case the cyber world, which allows us to collaborate with authors from all parts of world and to address to readers from around 180 countries. On the other hand, the crew of this spaceship was successful because the team consisted of people of different cultures and backgrounds. Therefore, BLUR magazine entered the 2011 with a bigger, multicultural team. In addition to the already well-known colleagues from Croatia, BLUR is now collaborating with Mark Sink from the U.S., future editor of Wet Plate, Jennifer Rumbach from Germany, future editor of the Instantion, Michael McAllister from the U.S., proofreader, and Jennifer Henriksen from Canada who has been editing the Playstick section from recently.
Given the aim of focusing more on the infinite space that the Internet technology enables, from next issue BLUR magazine will be issued in English version only. At this moment Croatian independent cultural scene is in a difficult stage and our statistics show that most of the Croatian readers prefer to download the English version, which is why we, until further notice, decided to suspend the Croatian edition of BLUR. We believe how most of our loyal readers from Croatia will not feel this necessary change, while our international editorial board will get more capacity to conquer the cyber world.
In the end, it is my pleasure to announce a great treat for all Polaroid fans; the exhibition “The Best of Polaroid photos” in photo gallery Lang in Samobor. Beside the thirty authors who won our last year’s competition, we will present the works of our Instantion editor, Jennifer Rumbach and a series of photographs ‘Famous Faces’ by Mark Sink, recorded in the 80-is, in which he captures many celebrities from the showbiz and the art world of New York.
Robert Gojević, editor in chief

O časopisu:
|
Blur magazin entuzijastičan je projekt ljubitelja fotografije, volonterskih suradnika iz različitih dijelova Hrvatske. S ciljem postizanja visoke kvalitete sadržaja, časopis izlazi kvartalno u pdf formatu, kako bi se mogao skinuti, pohraniti i “listati” u bilo kojem trenutku. Dostupan je samo preko interneta jer ovim kanalom izbjegavamo visoke distributivne trošarine, rušimo teritorijalne granice i dosežemo svaki dio svijeta na najbolji način, besplatno. Upravo zbog njegove kozmopolitske naravi, Blur se paralelno uređuje na hrvatskome i engleskome jeziku. Iako prvotno osnovan pod imenom Bulb krajem 2007. godine, u rujnu 2009. mijenja svoju uredničku strukturu i osvježuje tim suradnika te kreće u nove izazove s nešto “mutnijim” imenom – Blur.
