It's not as if Brooks is showing up unbidden to flack his publication, and it would be unfair not to allow him to respond to criticism, even as a non-sponsor.

He's gotten a hell of a lot of free advertising for his business just in this thread alone.
And, they do pop up kind of regularly - perhaps on a cycle similar to the publication releases? george, he plugs apug in his blog 
if he were a sponsor,
would folks be MORE all over him for not having an
"all analog" magazine, or selling his prints the way he does?
its a 2 way street ...

I'll simply point out that if you review the thread at least a half dozen posters said they would subscribe to Lenswork after reading Brooks' posts.
Would be nice if APUG at least got a piece of that swag for carrying the load.

Thanks for taking the time to respond...I think we share the burning need not to be creating sit-com art

Just because you aren't paranoid doesn't mean they aren't watching you!!!!!
This is fun

I didn't say there were NO conspiracies... just that not everything is a conspiracy. If you ever worked for the US Government, you'd realize how impossible it is for a conspiracy to actually work... our government is too incompetent to actually pull off a conspiracy.

Well, that's what they want you to think.

Unless of course, by letting you think that they think you won't be thinking that they aren't thinking about what you're thinking about them conspiring to de-conspire what you just thought...
Oh never mind, good night

Lenswork Generosity
OK, ironically enough, my Lenswork Holiday CD catalog showed up today. Haven't been a subscriber for over a year either. Guess that shows the publisher's generosity!
Seems this thread has gone far afield. Just want to chime in on the reproduction sub-thread. I do enjoy looking at new photography online. Heck, in most bookstores now you can see the real mags AND look at stuff on your laptop via WiFi. We've got it too good really.
But here's something we should all think about; you CAN see original photo prints in most decent size cities in the world. When was the last time you went to a gallery opening of original photographs in your town? Most public art museums have a tremendous collection of original photographic prints you can make an appointment to see. I'm not talking about what's hanging on the walls. They have far more than they could ever display.
Once a semester I take my college photo class to the St. Louis Art Museum's Print viewing room. I call the docent ahead of time and mention some photographers students are studying. Even if they don't have a Man Ray original, they have something similar by a contemporary.
It's a revelation to see how photographs were printed 70 years ago. It's a very different aesthetic than the last 30. Warm tones, low contrast, and rather dark. These are not the result of fading either. Students get a whole education about the choice of analog printing by looking at those images.
So go out and look at some real photographic prints. It is indeed fun and inspiring. The exhibition that got me into photography were the Atget prints which traveled the US in the early 1980s. That really opened my eyes to the nuances of photography.
