Looks like another "hard copy" item bites the dust. Apparently their on line website as well.
Too bad, although I can say was not a follower or reader, but still sad for those who were and of course the employees as well.....
I didn't think it was a good sign when the photo magazines I was getting ten years ago were 2/3 ads and 1/3 editorial content. I've seen a number of photo and nature-themed magazines fold that I was working with for advertising (including some that folded before my ads even ran... they still owe me money!). I guess it says something about the state of affairs when I find myself actually impressed that certain publications are still running in print.

I totally agree, Max. It's tough times out there for most all hard copy subscription publications these days. For me especially as I still shoot film for which there is nothing in ANY of the photo magazines still alive that write ANY articles about the analog world. Yet, in the last year there has been a revival of a few more companies and several either new films released or old returning ones. And at the same time the all analog site I visit daily has over 80,000 members, usually 1000+ members on line 7/24, and the forums that post a couple hundred comments daily. Not a point about analog vs digital, just a point that they left some of the mass out of the "photograph" that might have help to keep them going, so to speak........
