I want to congratulate you on publishing a photography magazine with quality articles and excellent photo reproduction. I first came across your Summer 2005 issue while visiting Reed Photo-Imaging in Denver. This was my first exposure to your excellent publication. I brought a copy home with me and passed it around to several of my colleagues in Pagosa Springs and Durango, Colo. Their reaction echoed mine that the content of this free issue far surpassed that of the other magazines to which we subscribe. The articles on David Muench, Rich Clarkson, Michael Kenna and Mike Dickson are exemplary and stimulating. Articles such as these are an inspiration to all serious photographers.

One of my colleagues has participated in a Rich Clarkson workshop. He observed to me that your feature on Mr. Clarkson was right on the money. He credits his attendance in the Clarkson workshop for the vast improvement in his own photography.

I am looking forward to circulating your magazine amongst my colleagues as a stimulus to promote serious fine art photography in our Pagosa Springs area. I wish you con-tinued success and hope you continue to grow and achieve even broader circulation.
