A couple ok, I like Lenswork for it's quaility but agree somewhat with the previous posters opinion. BlindSpot can have it's moments and I've found the best photo stories in here ( look for the back issue with the John Gotti snap shot) Aperture pricey and spotty in quality. CameraArts too artsy for me. The rest I find ridiculuosly below average, more in bussiness to sell Canons tha promote photography. Most of my frustration lies in the fact that magazines are built on photography! Why can there be one or two excellent journals out there that touch on contemporary ideas and occationally drop an old Winogrand interview. The golden age of photography for me being the 50's and 60's there are dozens of great talents that are completely overlooked, just the backlog of talent is enough to have an interesting quarterly and remind us about Lewis Baltz and help us forget Avedon. my 2 cents, - -- Warren Allen Whatrix designs http://www.whatrix.com whatrix@home.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
