How about an article showing how photographer like Adams, Weston, Weston, Strand, etc. used Pyro and what they thought of it in their work?

Hi Steve'
I like to think you are making a really good effort with your mag. And will continue to subscribe (AU locally) rather an use the new web idea. We / I do have password / access difficulty never the less. There are many dissenting voices but that is part of the human condition. One can never please all and if you did you would be publishing a tome. Even the encyclopedia Brit. has its detractors!
Maybe dividing the publication into sections is the only way to endeavor to please all, sorry most. i.e. beginners, advanced, history, portfolios, D-room, etc. etc. Just a few pages of each, building up as the issues progress. But every issue containing the same sections offering something progressively for every one, sorry most. Then some time in the future, say annual index time, one could combine all articles in each subject section as a separate web download . Even published.
May I suggest that with the (sister) magazine Camera Arts for arty, appreciation stuff even history, one could keep View Camera in the quasi technical (learning/informative) arena.
My two bits, you asked for.
Bob,
I'm smiling at your comment about Howard Bond. Howard is a great guy. A little tantalizing tidbit ..... look for a quote from Howard in the article on BTZS in the January issue. Yes, he is full of great stories and the quote is one of them.
I'd like an article about how to deal with shooting B&W in shitty weather. Also, like to thank you for the article on George Tice.

Camera Arts was sold to a former employee quite some time ago.May I suggest that with the (sister) magazine Camera Arts for arty, appreciation stuff even history, one could keep View Camera in the quasi technical (learning/informative) arena.
Thanks,

Yes, but being as there are few publications dedicated to this specific discipline I wondered if we could avoid duplication to some extent. Arts doesn't seem to get too technical leaving that to others, us? Or rather Steve. I wondered, no doubt naively if we couldn't reverse the sentiment. There is lots to be going on with as this thread clearly exhibits.Originally Posted by Kirk Gittings

Otzi,
I have the unique opportunity to be friends with and do some casual advising with the owners of both publications. They are two entirely different entities these days. Camera Arts by contractual agreement does not cover largeformat or view cameras aesthetically or technically. There is no overlap or duplication.
Thanks,

Steve,
I believe artices on portrait lighting would be interesting.
ALthough he uses mostly medum format, Ken Cook in Salinas, CA utilizes the lighting techniques of the Hollywood masters and applies them to modern equipment. He maintains a studio which was opend by his grandfather in the 1800's and was passed downthrough his father. Actually an article on him as a photogrpaher would probably interest many readers.
I believe an article or series by him would be welcomed.
My major problem with the magazine has been with subscription. On two occcasions I have subscribed and not received any magazines. I now purchase it at the news stand when the articles interest me.
