Dear all.
I hope this finds everyone well!

I would like to cordially invite you to the opening of Devil Dogs: No
Better Friend, No Worse Enemy, a photographic journey of 8-months
embedded with the Marines in Iraq by WpN photographer Lucian Read.

As you already know WpN never does anything the ordinary way.

To coincide with the re-launch of our new website, this is the first
exhibition in a new WpN-created concept, The Guerilla Galleries.

We are pleased to welcome Lucian back for a short break before he
returns to Iraq to continue working for publications such as The New
York Times, Newsweek, Time and Paris Match. Images from the historic
journey he recently completed are a fitting opening to The Guerilla
Galleries.

The Guerilla Galleries puts the work of some of the world's best
photographers in surprising places never before used as exhibition
spaces. They are based on the idea that working outside the system
increases speed and flexibility. The Guerilla Galleries are meant to
bring to light imagery that shouldn't have to wait the months or years
needed to secure a traditional gallery space.

In the months to come The Guerilla Galleries will be used to create
unique environments showcasing imagery from all areas of photography,
from journalism to fashion, art, entertainment sports, travel, etc.

The launch of The Guerilla Galleries coincides with the re-launch of
the WorldPictureNetwork website, with new categories of photography
and a whole new look and feel.

The new "Lounge" includes video diaries, photo blogs, The Big Idea
photography contest and The Week in Pictures.

It's all set to go live on Friday the 13th, of all days! Tune in to
www.worldpicturenetwork.com

I hope you can join us at the launch of this exciting concept for an
evening of eye-opening photography and fine refreshment provided by
Bacardi.

I hope to see each and every one of you there!

Cheers!
-Deirdre.
