MAGNAchrom — The Alternative Journal of Medium and Large Format Photography

MAGNAchrom is available as a free PDF download for registered users (which is also free).

Dear MAGNAchromers,

Wow. The 4th issue is finally “in the can” and is available to download for free from our website www.magnachrom.com. Time for me to take a day off (or two) and then start the 5th issue.

Anyway, we have really been listening to your your ideas over the past few months. And as a result, this issue has been totally re-designed in order to allow us to better provide MAGNAchrom in alternate media in the future (such as CD-ROM, print-on-demand, etc). We have lots more planned in the near future and only need your continued support.

We hope you enjoy the new "look" of MAGNAchrom — please let us know if you like the new direction we are taking. Again, we REALLY value your feedback — keep it coming! MAGNAchrom is a labor of love.

P.S. the next issue, the 5th, is all about night photography and we still have some "room" for a few additional supporting articles — please feel free to pmail me at editor “at” magnachrom “dot” com and I’ll try to fit your work in.

P.P.S the following issue, the 6th, will be all about hybrid photography — probably our most ambitious issue yet. Any of you who are comfortable mixing analog and digital processes should REALLY consider contributing to this issue. Pmail me as above.
