One of the photography magazines that I have been reading regularly is Focus Magazine. It is, in my opinion, an excellent and very worthwhile publication. I am writing about it now, however, because I wanted to call attention to a very special issue that I just finished reading and is currently available at news stands. Well, actually, I have never seen one at a news stand per se, and while I have a subscription, I do know that it can be found at Barnes and Noble.
What is so special about this issue? This month, the editors have grouped together a large number of past interviews with various photographers from older issues and reprinted them together in one location. There are interviews here with some of my favorites including Michael Kenna, Paul Caponigro, George Tice, and an interview with Arnold Newman that took place just prior to his recent death.
Definitely a worthwhile read!

Just a note of caution regarding Focus Magazine - this publication has *significant* issues regarding subscriber delivery. At this point, I would not advise people to risk the subscription cost, but rather buy from the newsstand. The Editor, David Spivak, seems unable to manage the business side of the magazine. I love Focus Mag, but not the bi-monthly grief it takes to continue receiving it. Here's a Photo.net thread detailing more of the craziness:
