It is a tangible, physical counterpoint to the ephemeral, social activities that have thus far comprised foto:RE.<\/p>\r\n<p>We\u2019re creating a single volume \u2014 one year, four issues \u2014 of a beautiful large-format quarterly journal that celebrates photographers and their work, in conjunction with complementary essays. \u00a0Focusing on a single volume instead of trying to create an ongoing publication allows us to have a circumscribed amount of work. We know what our budget will be, and we know what our tasks will be. It\u2019s a big project for a small group of people, but it\u2019s achievable.<\/p>\r\n<p>We\u2019ve decided on a larger format for our magazine so the photographs can be properly appreciated. Each issue will have between 70 and 90 pages. Long enough to curl up with while enjoying your favourite beverage. And with enough text to go along to make for thoughtful reading, not just fast page flipping.<\/p>\r\n<p>We\u2019ve chosen a larger than average size in order to maximize the impact of the photographs. And we\u2019ve added a 20% grey background to allow the highlights of black and white images to pop off the page.<\/p>\r\n<p>With funding from the Waterloo Region Arts Fund (and others), and support from professional editors, designers and publishers of photography books, we\u2019re confident that foto:RE|VIEW will hit the very high bar for photography publications. And with the content we\u2019ve got planned for our four issues, we\u2019re certain we are creating a journal that\u2019s not only worth reading once, but worth keeping as a reference.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foto.re\/view\/subscribe\/\">Subscribe to the mailing list<\/a> and follow along as we take foto:RE from its social beginnings in the gallery, cafe, classroom, and conference centre and introduce it to someplace new: your coffee table.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;170&#8243; img_size=&#8221;202&#215;97&#8243; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/foto.re&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;95&#8243; img_size=&#8221;200&#215;267&#8243;][vc_column_text] Editor: Mark Walton Production Team:Sean PuckettKarl Griffiths-Fulton Manager: Jennifer King [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] Funding provided by a grant from [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text] foto:RE\u2019s mission is to highlight and celebrate photography as art, to showcase and elevate photographers as artists, to transfer photographic knowledge and techniques, and to build a&#8230;<a class=\"btnReadMore\" href=\"https:\/\/foto.re\/view\/about\/\">More Please<i class=\"fa fa-long-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":6,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/foto.re\/view\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/foto.re\/view\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/foto.re\/view\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foto.re\/view\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foto.re\/view\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"https:\/\/foto.re\/view\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":276,"href":"https:\/\/foto.re\/view\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5\/revisions\/276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/foto.re\/view\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
