I don't want to read a "zine" in pdf format if I don't have to. I admire you sticking to your guns and keeping Monochrome Mania just paper, for now. It's one thing if you sell the 100 and don't want to reprint and have a way to share, but besides cost, I don't get people asking for a digital version when a perfectly good print one is right there.<br /><br />I'm happy to see that more and more folks are doing photo zines. But as someone who's done plain ol' zines for almost 25 years, it's definitely a different approach to what I'm used to. I'll try to put it delicately, and it's not directed at you, but I've seen quite a few folks price their photo zines more as "art objects" than publications. I get the fact that photography <i>is</i> art. But I feel that there has to be a balance. I want to support photographers, but my limited funds can only go so far. It doesn't exactly behoove me to purchase a photozine when the maker "sells" it by claiming it's "crudely thrown together" and slaps a $20 price tag on it, as I have seen once. <br /><br />In any case, I dug the first issue of MONOCHROME MANIA, so I'll be getting the second.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Shawn<br />http://urbanadventureleague.wordpress.com/Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14450505644942296884noreply@blogger.com
