I believe MAC is going to be coming out with one in January.
I just tried it. It worked just fine for me.
Oh good. I've been waiting for this. I'm buying it today!
Schiller's work was reproduced in 400 line screen via a duotone. I don't believe his work has ever been reproduced in such fine detail before. I hope he will be pleased.
Features are always nice. Our interviews are what really separate FOCUS from the pack.
All of this is correct, so far.
Specifically, it was not just stocks. As I mentioned, galleries with existing contracts with FOCUS feared they were going to be unable to pay for their next ad,...
Issue #18 is pretty much done printing. One last sig to go on Tuesday. Headed to the bindery later in the week and we should be done early next week. From there, the distributor will pick it up and...
Congratulations, Bob. Running an art gallery in today's economy has got to be a challenge. I hope you succeed.

I will be announcing in the coming days more information about this contest that you see printed in the...
You haven't been here long enough. The Lounge was a real knee slapper back in the day!
What's with the Michael Kenna knock?
Then are galleries doing a disservice to a photographer by over-qualifying potential customers? If I want my photography in as many homes as possible, but my dealer refuses to sell my work to just...
What defines a collector? Is there more than one category of a collector? Can a collector be a decorator?
I define a photography collector as someone who purchases two or more photographs. Of...
Come join the conversation then.

Good -- I expected this kind of reaction from most of you.
I'm having an interesting conversation with a photo dealer who refuses to sell any of the work he sells to people who want to use the...
Very simple question -- would you sell your art to someone so they could decorate their home or office with your work?
Should art be used as decoration?

I highly doubt this number is accurate. I had a conversation recently with someone who gave me the same figure.
There are millions, literally, millions of art collectors in the US alone....
I dunno... the sheet sizes are HUGE. 25 x 38. Maybe in NYC our offices and apts are too small, but that's a pretty big piece of paper. To have 13 of them... but to each their own... I'll see if I can...
Thank you, Kirk!
Not that I know of... I'm actually not related to any Spivak's. The Spivak side of my family (my father's side) is very small. If you lived in Tampa Bay, FL in the mid-late 1990s and you liked good...

Yep -- Willem Photographic over in Monterey, CA.
Thank you, Donald. I appreciate the kind words.

Literally.
I've received, in the past six months, literally hundreds of e-mails from subscribers wanting to know where their issue, that they paid for with their hard-earned money, was. The truth...
The book was printed by Dual Graphics - so the book will be GORGEOUS.
I have yet to find any mass produced product or service that offers excellent or even good customer service. Verizon is in one of the worst offenders out there right now.
Yes, I've seen his work before. Quite nice.
I met Tillman a few years ago at Photo San Francisco... 2005 I believe it was. His photography is something to behold and is QUITE gorgeous. I've spoken with Tillman a number of times, he's a...
Good luck!
First of all - it's Heidelberg, not Heidelberger! The XL 105 is what all high end books, magazines and printed materials are printed on, including Focus Magazine. The plates that are configured for...
Simmons told me verbally that I wasn't in the article and that I was never mentioned. He made very clear to me that I wasn't in any way mentioned in the article. Wow. I'm just stunned by this.
...
There's two types of realities in this world: The reality one sees and the reality everyone else sees.
If I was actually mentioned by Rabbi Sinclair in the article, I should have been sent a...
According to Steve Simmons, Publisher of View Camera Magazine, I am not mentioned at all in the article in the latest issue of View Camera Magazine. Of course I haven't seen an issue, yet. Simmons...
QT - are you part of Steve's staff? Are you an employee of ViewCamera? You seem to be taking VC's side... which is... interesting.
I don't want to get into it... I'm certainly not one to lecture on customer service, I've had my issues in the past. But at the same time - if a publisher of another photography magazine would call...
B&W US or B&W UK?
I have absolutely nothing bad to say about B&W US at all, but the amount of ads they have in their issues since September is quite tiny. I think they only have 4 or 5 ads and the...
Steve, you are in control of the magazine - it's YOUR baby. It's YOUR publication. You could have easily rectified a situation over the phone today. You chose not to. That's sad.
