Like many others here, I too am discouraged by the gradual but seemingly inevitable digital domination of B&W. The time is fast approaching when instead of buying that magazine every month, I will thumb through it at Barnes & Noble over a cup of coffee, identify and peruse the bit of traditional content, and put it back along with the others that have gone "into the light." I was so hoping that Emulsion Magazine would be the digital-safe alternative, but I also realize how difficult it must be to begin and sustain publishing a quality magazine.
In a similar vein to David's project, I have been wondering why our APUG community cannot support its own traditional-based magazine, either in electronic and/or print format. After all, is there a more dense concentration of experts and practitioners in the emulsion arts than right here? Perhaps we'd all better get behind David and help him make this happen. I also wonder if there are some strategic alliances to be made between a magazine and the APUG site and organization...
