Maybe you will buy the Septemer issue of B&W because I am an Apug subscriber and I have a feature in it. I haven't seen it yet because it takes awhile to get here but Black Dog has seen it and said it looked alright.

Hi Kate, I heard you were in it, so I will be buying it. The August issue is still on sale here. I'm not much for B&W, but I buy it anyway, just to support film usage.

I was leafing through a number of back copies of this mag at the recent East Midlands Monochrome Group meeting( great evening with Leigh Preston by the way) and liked the look of them, although time was too short to properly digest the contents. I'd want to try before subscribing, especially in view of this thread and don't fancy doing this until I have chance to buy one over the counter.
Anyone( this may be addresed to you alone, Dave Miller) have any idea who stocks this mag in the Northampton, Rugby, Leamington, Warwick or even Coventry area?
I have yet to see it in any shops even in the bigger towns in my county or those towns in nearby Warwickshire and West Mids.
I read the latest issue today and I really enjoyed the magazine. I suppose I have a different take on it as I started photography with a digital camera a couple of years ago and only started using film earlier this year. From my perspective the magazine introduces me to processes and techniques I'd never heard of before. I look at the photographs that appeal to me visually, which usually means most of them, and then look at how they were made.

Wow! So that was you! I was at a Barnes and Noble yesterday and picked up the September issue and saw the article and your excellent and sensitive pictures, but didn't realize it was yerself! Congratulations on being published, and on the worthy article that made it into the magazine.
BTW, I thought September's issue was a good one. Mike Johnston wrote about Tri-X and his take on the right developer. Leon and Stoo printed one of Stoo's negs and the entire process was covered nicely. Besides Kate's, there was another silver-gelatin portfolio as well. I thought analog photography got a very decent outing in that issue. Yes, there was a digiprinter review, but so what? A 100% analog magazine just isn't likely to be viable in the marketplace at large (witness the fragility and limited availability of Emulsion) and I was interested in that article as well.
P.S. I always enjoy reading the mag at Barnes and Noble here in the states over a cup of coffee. At about $9 a copy or so, it's not worth the money to acquire tho, but I do look at the ads.
Yes, that's how I usually feel as I read it over a cup of coffee, but it occurs to me that we in the US aren't likely to ever patronize the advertisers (I don't even have a clue what the currency equivalences are when I see the prices) which deprives the magazine of that source of revenue. So, in future, I will buy every issue that seems worthwhile. If it gets to be too digital....no sale.
(It was on a rack, btw, side by side with about six other photomags that were all digi this and digi that. Yikes!)
The September (76) issue was one of the better ones recently, helped imeasurably by Kate's, Leon's and Stoo's contributions. Maybe the contrast between it and the latest depressing offer helped spark the sentiments expressed in this thread.

The article on Nathan was yours Kate? That was probably one of the most heartwarming pieces I have read in a very long time. I absolutely loved the water chute photo, the sheer joy of it had me smiling for days!
I hope the magazine can keep printing articles of that quality.
