Doug Menuez’s stock site, Menuez Archive Projects, went live this past Sunday. The site features a selection of images from throughout Doug’s career as an award-winning documentary photographer (with additional work available through Stockland Martel Archives), but in honor of its Valentine’s Day launch, the homepage showcases “Evidence of Love on Planet Earth, 1976–2010.” (For more on MAP, check out this post by Heather Morton of HMAb, as well as this interview by Miki Johnson of RESOLVE.)
MAP is putting a neat twist on the stock-site model by inviting guest curators to pull their own selects based on a theme of their choosing. The first guest curator is Karen Mullarkey, who is part of MAP’s official team and who has chosen images that are all about the many-splendored-thing that is love. Karen began her career at Life magazine and has served as photography director for Rolling Stone, New York, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated. (She was also a photographic consultant for the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Ft. Worth, Texas—how cool is that?)
