I enjoy "Black & White Photography", also British but not the same as
"B&W", the German "Schwarzweiss" which Tom Abrahamson kindly passes
my way after he reads it, "Lenswork" and "View Camera". The latter
two are West Coast US magazines which have a rather higher quality
than most US or Canadian magazines. "Lenswork" is from Anacortes, WA
which is about as close to Vancouver as Seattle, so it can be
considered 'local'. :-)
I don't subscribe to these magazines, as they would cost considerably
more to subscribe to than to buy at a newstand. The places I buy them
charge me the US amount, but I pay in Canadian Dollars.
I still look at Shutterbug for the same reasons I did years ago; for the ads.
