My copy arrived today.
The entire issue is a portfolio of unpublished images by George Tice.
Great stuff.

Got mine too!

[Thom Bennett]

Yeah, this is wonderful stuff. Kudos to Steve for allotting an entire issue to Tice's unpublished work.

[Richard Wasserman]

I am a big fan of George Tice's work and was thrilled to see the portfolio.

Agreed with above comments. I think VC Magazine should keep it up with the twice a year or so in-depth portfolio issues.

I agree - the Caponigro and Tice issues are excellent.

A second agreement. These issues are something very special.

You know, I was going to post a question about this issue but noticed that a thread has already started...

Good to see that several people have already commented favorably on the Tice portfolio. I've gone thru it a couple of times and re-read the intro. For me, I just don't see anything in any of the images. They all just seem very sub-par to me as my eye wanders thru each photo, looking for an object of interest without finding one. There's just nothing striking or tugging at me...

My question is, what is it that you see in the portfolio/images that stirs? I'm not trying to knock Tice or be critical. I'm asking so as to broaden my realm of interest and be less opinionated.

Oddly enough, I skimmed the magazine when I got it and was not moved, however, I went back and read Michael More’s overview and it all kind of came together for me and after that I really enjoyed portfolio.

I have to agree. In fact I question the reason these are unpublished photographs. Now I suppose all of us have photos we personally like but others would be underwhelmed. Maybe that's why these photos were never chosen for publication - Tice (& Caponigro) like them but their editors didn't. Now some of them are quite nice, but there are quite a few I just don't get.
