I did get a number of people commenting appreciatively, but maybe it's time to have a proper vote.

The Silverprint advertorials are, and always have been, a welcome exception. They don't really push an article but merely show the dedication of the owners to wet photography. Please keep them cumming!!

I like the Silverprint ads because they're not merely ads but tend to be well written articles. Even if they're on a non-analogue photography item like ink-aid (though my mind did wander a bit and wondered if it would work for alt processes)

Another thing, I'm glad the celeb photos have been ditched from the cover too. After all, celebs on magazine covers is something you just can't have enough of!
Also, some lovely person has just spent £40 of their hard-earned cash, and bought one of my photos in my exhibition in a cafe in Minehead.Isn't life wonderful?? In case you're interested, it was this one.

Hmm, didn't do that right did I. Ha ha! How do you insert an image from your own gallery on here anyone?

Well done osprey48. How is Minehead these days? Been an age since i was at Kilve and the head

Bob F. · 05-18-2008, 05:19 PM

This is one way:

Move to the image, get the Properties with a right-click to get the path and copy the path and paste it into the post using the "insert image" icon in the post editor.

Cheers, Bob.

Yes, I like the Silverprint advertorials also.

As for the Magazine, mine arrived this morning, and due to this thread and curiosity I opened it straight away (have got right out of the habit of that) and got completely absorbed - can't remember the last time that happened with this mag. -it made me late. Looking forward to another look later.

Another vote for Martin Reed's 'advertorials'
Having had a letter 'tweaked' by the late editor to make me look foolish in issue 85 I'm not sorry to see David Corfield depart (not least for releasing Lee Frost from the Corf and Frosty double act) However, I have had a nice letter of apology from Liz Roberts and I wish her well. Have enjoyed the latest issue, although where is Les McLean and his darkroom dilemmas?
