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?) Mark Tucker
