From the Editor
It's hard to believe that Photovision is preparing for its first round of renewals. If your subscription is up for renewal that means you are an elite member of our very first subscribers.The first year has been a real pleasure, thanks to you. The response from readers has been overwhelmingly positive. The Reader's Forum represents only a fraction of the great letters we receive. The worst complaint has been from readers asking why their issue is late.
We have taken steps, with the current issue, to remedy the problem with late delivery. Photovision now has a periodical rating by the U.S. Post Office. What this means is that we pay less and the Post Office guarantees to deliver your magazine within seven days. Under the 3rd Class Postage rate, which we were previously using, we paid more and the U.S. Post Office guaranteed delivery within 20 days. We call this "Postal Logic."
By the time you receive this issue our new Website should be up and running, photovisionmagazine.com, designed by Michael Bosworth. On our Website you will find additional photographs of the featured artists, unpublished book reviews by Dean Brierly, Greg W. Stanley, and Brian Aurand, along with information we could not fit into the magazine.
Personally, I don't do web. I spend enough time in front of the computer editing Photovision and answering emails. Right now I'm looking out the window at a beautiful Colorado sunset. I'll get back to this editorial later.
All right. I'm back. In this issue we are pleased to present the portfolios of four photographers: Joyce Tenneson, Kurt Edward Fishback, Adam Jones, and Otto Makris (Mako), from Greece.
Joyce Tenneson's color studio portraits of women, aptly entitled Light Warriors, reveal the archetypal nature of her subjects. As a counterpoint, we present Kurt Edward Fishback's black-and-white location portraits of artists in their spaces.
Adam Jones' color landscape portfolio demonstrates the advantage of using tilt/shift lenses with the 35mm format. Accompanying his article, I have written an informative piece on how to use these lenses.
Finally, Mako illustrates his fascination with the mysteries of the sea in his portfolio entitled Aquaforms.
Just when you thought it was safe to come out of the darkroom, Robert Hirsch has decided to shake our perceptions in a new series of columns, coauthored with Greg Erf. The new column will be titled "In Our Opinion," instead of the former "In My Opinion." Robert's thought-provoking column has been one of our reader's favorite features. I am certain you will enjoy the new collaboration equally well.
