What a year it’s been. Some of us are thankful it’s finally over, hoping 2010 will bring much more prosperity than 2009 did. Frankly, I’m happy to see it go. It’s been a rough year for everyone in the publishing industry. Major newsstand magazines have folded—Portfolio, Gourmet and InStyle Weddings, just to name a few. And unfortunately, that’s only the beginning.
What I do know is that while it may have been touch and go for everyone for a while, AfterCapture is here to stay—and just like you’re hitting the gym in 2010, we also plan to bulk up. AfterCapture is here for the long haul. Our editorial and art direction have never been more focused, with new ideas flying all over the place. Each issue gets better and better, with profiles on new and up-and-coming photographers along with product reviews and technical how-to articles. I couldn’t be more proud of what we continue to do here.
All of that said, we’ve also improved our website, www.aftercapture.com, by leaps and bounds, adding a completely redesigned blog by Ethan G. Salwen and new bonus editorial material from the magazine found exclusively on the Web.
So long 2009. You weren’t very kind to us but yet we made it through the year. Hello 2010, we couldn’t wait for you to get here. The future is going to be better and brighter, we’re confident of that.
