  The publishers of PHOTOVISION are keeping things separate (digital vs. 
  non-digital). The recent issue of the magazine (March/April 2002) contains 
  an ad for the upcoming Digital Fine Arts publication. There is also this 
  message from the editor:

  "Photovision is, and always will be, dedicated to photography -- no 
  digital. This is not because we don't believe digital imaging is a viable 
  visual medium. Those who doubt our sincerity may be interested to know that 
  in 2002 we will be launching our second publication, Digital Fine Arts -- 
  no photography!"

  Their use of photography only for the 'wet' side annoys me a bit. I think 
  the term 'digital photography' is valid (and, maybe one day, we can drop 
  the 'digital' altogether) since I go back the Greek root words for 
  photography, which I take to loosely mean 'to write with light.' I can 
  'write with light' using silver, emulsion, and chemistry, or I can do it 
  with silicon, software, and electrons.
