Considering the fact that a sizable percentage of all mail posted to the
alt photo process list involves some aspect of digital photography, even if
only for the negative making stage of our work, it is of some significance
that a new photography magazine has just been launched that proudly pledges
to dedicate itself to the pure craft, i.e. no digital, of photography.
Today I received a copy of the premier issue of this magazine, Photovision.
The opening note from the editor reads as follows: "We don't want to stir
up the old rumblings of art-versus-craft that have plagued photograhy since
its beginnings, but feel that here is something different and special about
traditional photography that should be cherished. And so, it is based on
this lifetine love of the art and craft of photography that we present
Photovision, a place where photographers can meet and talk and appreciate
pure art and craft, and know that every image was made with skill by
artists who created their work in the camera and the darkroom without the
aid of digital technology."
Opinions anyone?
