Hi Chris,
I don't recall ever being called a 'visionary' before! I (and hopefully the rest of the community) are interested in anything to do with traditional photography. I'd like it to be a fairly wide-ranging series of articles and so I'm happy to receive...
- equipment reviews (not necessarily new equipment; it might be quite interesting to revisit older cameras, lenses and so on).
- processing techniques (everything from coating glass plates to 35mm and beyond).
- beginners articles (basic darkroom stuff - processing & printing).
- how-to articles (this is a very wide arena, so whatever you think).
- feature photographs (include details of exposure, camera, lens, processing plus a few words about the image(s)).
- events / camera clubs / exhibitions (dates & details).
- anything else that you might think would be useful to the community!
You can now email the 'magazine' directly at creativeimagemaker at yahoo.co.uk or leave comments (and check up on what's going on) at
http://creativeimagemaker.blogspot.com.
Written articles could be in most formats to be honest - I'll find a way of dragging the information out! Word (.doc) should be OK, text (.txt) and RTF (.rtf) might be easier to deal with, or Acrobat (.pdf) is also OK. Articles should be somewhere between 250 and 1000 words - a wide range I know, but it allows me to either run the article complete if it's at the 250 word end, or split it over a couple of articles if it's longer. The other option with longer articles is that I can run an edited version online and the full version on paper.
Images should be [ideally] 300dpi, JPEG and 3000 pixels along the longest side. Either send images to the email address above, or log on to Flickr and submit the images to the Creative Image Maker group.
Thanks for your interest Chris, look forward to seeing your submissions.
David.
