I'm also somewhat surprised to see how vibrant the publishing industry remains for photography in general, and b/w in particular. There are actually quite a few titles on the rack at Barnes & Noble where I picked up my copy of this issue.
I've been doing [for me] a lot of printing, showing, and contest entering over the last 6 months or so. Think it's time to slow down and take stock...maybe head off in a new direction with my work? Not sure, but I'll certainly let you all know what I decide!
