While Spring is making itself quite apparent here in North Carolina, the latest issue of Monochrome Mania is fresh from the printers, and it's about...Winter. Yes, you read that right. The title is A Cold Reckoning - The Nature of Winter. This issue explores the abstract images found in ice, winter weather, and the forms that result from repeated freezing and thawing, along with some tips about cold weather photography. The origins for this issue go back a decade, when I had a photo exhibit at Matthaei Botanical gardens in Ann Arbor, MI. It was titled "Phase Change" and the images were of various facets of the phases of water from liquid to solid and back again along Fleming Creek and the Huron River. Many of those images appear in the zine, along with others taken after that show. This issue departs from what I had previously done in the sense that I don't tell you about the cameras and films that I used, because I want the reader to enjoy the images for what they are. Included are some quotes and poetry as well as information at the end about photographing in cold weather. My friend Susan Patrice suggested some better fonts, and they have made a difference in the presentation. Everyone that's seen the pre-press copy has really liked this issue, and I hope that you'll be tempted to purchase it and enjoy it, too.
Monochrome Mania # 4 is once again 36 pages plus covers, and priced at $12 within the USA. For readers in Canada, It's $15, and overseas, $18. All prices include shipping.
