Julie Blackmon shoots the cover of an April issue of Time magazine for the story, “Should Kids Be Bribed to Do Well in School?” The article describes experiments conducted across several cities in America in which groups of children are offered money as incentives for performing and behaving well in school. The results are “fascinating and surprising… kids, like grownups, are not puppets.”

38,000 visitors are expected at Paris Photo, “the world’s leading event for photography.” Photographers from 23 countries will be represented across 89 galleries. Among the 500 artists that are showing at Paris Photo, Julie Blackmon is among the 20 short-listed works exhibited during the fair for the BMW Paris Photo Prize. The theme of the exhibit is “When was the last time you experienced something for the first time?”. Julie Blackmon’s artist statement for her photograph “Baby Toss”:
“This photograph expressed the universal primary experience of becoming aware of your own body in a new way. When being released from trusted hands into the unknown, you are as left weightless, gleeful, fearful, and euphoric.”
Paris Photo runs from Novembr 19-22, 2009 at Carrousel Du Louvre.
