Hugely expensive though: about $25 an issue but worth it. Bests Adrian>> Adrian: The magazine is called PHOTOGRAPHERS INTERNATIONAL and is published in Taiwan by Juan I-Jong. It is printed on heavy paper and the quality of the B&W and color photos is excellent. One of the Borders bookstores in the Chicago area will sometimes stock it, and it costs $18 per issue. I have often wondered how they have managed to stay in business! Most people have never heard of it, and it cannot be found in most bookstores. I have a bunch of back issues. Personally I think that it is often better than APERTURE, and I have been a subscriber to that for a long time. Some years ago, PI had separate issues devoted to British, Czech, and Lithuanian photography. Coincidentally, Aperture had a special issue devoted to Czech photography at about the same time. The photographers profiled in PI were much better. Some of the themes recently covered in Aperture are just silly! Aperture seems to publish a lot of blurry and out of focus photos that supposedly represent the ART of Photography. :-) No flames please! I am just kidding! Muhammad Chishty
