 Like Visiting A Gallery On Paper in my Leisure Time! April 17, 2008

I'm not a techy camera person, but I do appreciate quality b&w photography and the creativity of active photographers. Lenswork magazine highlights quality work and provides interview info on the artists. It's like attending gallery openings! I enjoy it, and the format lets me experience the photographs myself. It's a well-done, intelligent publication. Worth the price!

The print quality is some of the best I have seen in any magazine. It focuses on the creative aspects of photography and does so well. However - it measures 7 inches by (just under) 8 1/2 inches which is not revealed anywhere on the description and surprisingly not mentioned in other reviews. It's small! If not for the ridiculous size I would give it 4 stars with out hesitation.

This is perhaps my favorite Photography magazine. The printing is fantastic as is the subject matter. I really like the fact there are no ads in it at all. So many photography mags are just an extended catalog for B&H or Adorama that this is a breath of fresh air.
The photography itself is second to none. Always something interesting and fresh.

There's a lot to like about Lenswork - the selection of images, the quality of the printing, Bill Jay's "End Notes" - but the thing I like the most is that there is almost no discussion of equipment. Brooks Jensen (the editor/publisher) doesn't appear to care what camera you used to make a photograph, or how many miles through a raging blizzard you hiked to make it. All that matters is the image. And after you've finished looking at the images, you'll find a lot of wisdom and practical information packed into each issue, too.
Highly Recommended!
Great shots! April 1, 2004

This is a 'small' magazine in size but large in terms of inspiration. The photographs and the stories are not so much focused on technique but more on the artistic values and philosophy of photography. Each issue includes an interview with an artist as well as one or more sets of photographs. The publishers are deeply involved in photography and often contribute their own images. Like good art, the photographs show that good photographers can turn ordinary objects into interesting subjects. Hence, the inspirational value of the publication.In addition to 'standard' magazine fearures, the publishers often offer the ability to purchase limited edition prints like the current offer for some of Bradford Washburn's mountain photographs.
