BW Magazine: June issue

2002-05-05 by marktuckerdotcom

Picked up this magazine today at Borders. I kinda rolled my eyes 
when I saw it at first glance on the newsstand, but thought I'd 
give it a second chance.

Interesting section in the very back: a section called "Exposure", 
a tightly-controlled, staff-designed section where individual 
photographers buy quarter or half-page ads to offer their prints. 

They note their new policy on nudes: only "fine art nudes"; no 
more "glamour nudes". How funny.

Also interesting that you must submit prints for scanning; no 
scans are accepted. (Is this to address color-management 
concerns, or to assure them that you're a silver-gelatin guy?)

Anyway, as much as I love to rib this magazine (the one that will 
now ignore digital technology), it's still rather nicely done. (Even 
though we have officially reached our limit in Ansel Adams 
imitators; can we agree on that?)
