    You just violated your "old saying" with that post.

    Re: View Camera has ceased publication

    First, I consider Steve a friend ... I attended two of his workshops (Sacramento and Monterey) ... and he very graciously invited me and my wife to an event at Gordon Hutchings' house here in Sacramento ... probably because my wife shared his interest in horses ... his second passion.

    To have published an excellent magazine (and, sure the quality varied ... as with all magazines) for a niche market for as many years as he did with a tiny staff and limited budget demonstrated an enormous commitment to our craft/business/hobby. He certainly did not get rich doing it and it took an amazingly persistent determination to get it out month-after-month-after-month-after-month-after-month-ad (ALMOST) infinitum.

    While some had issues with Steve ... deserved or not ... he continued with a dogged determination ... to produce a very valuable resource for us all. I've subscribed for 10 years ... never had a delivery missed ... and got something ... actually a lot ... out of every issue. I still refer to the CDs he produced for subscribers.

    I wish Steve well ... and hope he'll call when he comes through Sacramento again ... there are some great places to shoot here in the valley, the foothills, and in the Delta. I'll also keep an eye out for his workshops and hopefully find one that fits my schedule.

    I am also sad to see it go. It's quirkiness was one of its charms, even if it was frustrating at times. Just like large format photography in general.:-)

    Hope some realized here that this gentleman took people's money, delivered nothing, ignored emails, ignored voice mails, ignored Facebook messages, but has apparently no issue in organizing workshops or other businesses on the side...

    We all owe a debt to the magazine. I came to it rather late and it became the publication I looked forward to every few months. A friend gave me his back collection and I re-read them regularly - always learning something new.

    i wouldn't say a debt. it was a magazine ... sometimes good, sometimes less good.
    the publisher was one of those folks who some people liked, and some people didn't.
    i did my best to try to like him, even tried to write a detailed article with a chemist who
    used to write for lester&morgan photo lab index ...
    but after a variety of events he was directly involved that affected me
    and others i know and worked with both personally and virtually i ended up in the other camp.

    i had a few years worth of subscription i gave away for the
    price of shipping a few years ago. the publisher rubbed me
    the wrong way enough i gave away everything i had
    to get it out of my house and burn some sage/smidgestick.

    i can't remember who i mailed them all to, i do remember
    the box weighed a ton and being shipped thousands of miles.
