New Year’s Day brought crummy news: JPG Magazine is calling it quits.

Ever since husband and wife duo Heather Champ and Derek Powazek founded the picture-filled print pub to create a truly democratic photo magazine, it’s been something very special.

The good news: last-minute efforts to save the business mean the site will be live for a few more days. That’s just enough time to check out some of their greatest hits and download their back issues in PDF.

Here’s a smattering of our all-time favorites to get you started:

• Ryan Schude’s massive productions
• An alphabet in the sky
• Ten tips for taking night photos
• An abandoned island city in Japan
• How to package prints for sale
• A review of the Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim camera
• Sleeping in the airport
• Aerial photos of salt mines and tailings

Thanks to everybody at JPG for the great work you’ve done over the last two years. What’ll we do without you?
