I'll second Frank's comments about what NOT to include. It is a huge turnoff to see digital evangelizing. I can pay a lot less money for a much fatter magazine here in the US called Shutterbug if I want to read equipment reviews about how the latest digi-gizmo which supplanted the previous digi-gizmo (now six months old!! and obsolete!!!) will totally revolutionize my life if I just burn another huge hole in my bank account to acquire it. Do NOT become yet another whore to the never-ending vicious cycle of crass consumption.
DO have more articles about the photographic experience - the how and the why people take photographs, not the what with. Also, reach out to the folks who practice alternative processes - it would be nice to get more frequent coverage, and if folks saw what these processes were, a lot more interest would be generated in them. As the film-based photography market changes, you will continue to see growth in these media because supplies of silver-gelatin products are changing. You can cover the digital/silver intersection with discussions about making digital negatives for alternative process printing. If you would like an article on the subject, I'd be happy to work with you. |
