The zine features the work of eleven photographers who are 34 years and older. Get Off My Lawn is a tongue-in-cheek response to the calls for entry, contests and publications that require “emerging photographers” to be somewhere between the ages of 18 and 34.</em></p> <p><span>The zine showcases photographers who are working just as hard as those in the 18-34 range to produce great work.</span></p> <p><span>We can no longer be in your club, but soon enough, you’ll be in ours…</span></p> <p>For me, <a href="http://daltonrooney.com/">Dalton Rooney’s</a> work really stands out. I’m sorry - he’s the only photographer in this zine who doesn’t actually fit in the advertised age bracket. He’s younger (just).</p> <p>But there isn’t really a bad photo in this collection. The work speaks for itself and, despite the theme (which is lighthearted anyway), it doesn’t use age as a crutch. You can think of this as a sampler. A reason to check out these photographers and see what else they’ve done. </p> <p><em>By the way, there were 11 different covers available and I’d love to know if anyone has all 11.</em></p>
