One of the top portuguese daily newspapers, Público, wrote an article about FrozenFlower!

Ok, it's the written press, and only in Portugal. But it's a start :)

Lousy translation made by me:

Portuguese photoblog divulges amateur photographers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Portuguese photographers, and others, have in the intrernet a place to divulge their work. FrozenFlower.net is a photoblog aggregator, founded by Nuno Barreto, a portuguese computer programmer and also a amateur photographer.

The main goal of the website is to divulge the work of new photographers, taking advantage of the potential of the internet. The project, which the founder says it's "the first of it's kind in all the world", makes photos available, most of them in a big resolution, with diverse themes. Not only that, but the users of the blog have links to the photoblogs of the photographers members of FrozenFlower.net.

So that there is a quality pattern in the website, not everyone can be part of FrozenFlower. The criteria to accept a new member involves that the candidate has a photoblog, in which photos must be at least 500px. The candidate is then submited to the previous members, who decide if the photographies have enough quality.

At the moment, FrozenFlower has 12 members: five portuguese, two canadians, one english, one irish, one japanese, one americam, and one swiss.

Some of the restrictions to the photography themes are proibition of pornography (nudity is allowed, if used with "good sense") and also any content that goes against human rights, or has any kind of violence or discrimination.

The website has some advertising, that Nuno Barreto justifies as necessary to support the maintenance of FrozenFlower.
