Hi David,
>From what I've seen so far and in discussion with the publisher I believe 
this is going to be a smashing good phot magazine. Hopefully they'll succeed 
on the course they've taken, absolute quality photojournalism first and 
foremost and not end up another rag photo advertising magazine.

My gut feeling? I don't think it'll become a rag for its and pieces as the 
people publishing it are first class experienced publishers and I believe 
there's a market for it here at home and abroad. Time will tell.

I'm not involved with it other than being asked as others were to submit a 
piece for consideration in the inaugural issue. So I feel pretty good making 
the cover and a good inside spread on the first go around. And with any kind 
of luck I hope I'll make the cut in a future edition or two.

One of the good things about this magazine is, we photojournalists in Canada 
finally have a publishing venue to show case some of the very fine 
photographer's we have in this country and unknown to people in other 
countries, let alone known right here at home.

If any of you folks have a look at a copy and are inclined to comment, 
please let me know what your thoughts are as it would be very much 
appreciated good, bad or ugly! :-)
