[jukka_lehmus]

<p>The first issue of Linguablanca webmagazine is now available

on-line at <a target=_blank

href="http://linguablanca.sevcom.com"><i>http://linguablanca.sevcom.com</i></a>

</p>

<p>

It features intriguing and dense landscape photography by Canadian

Timothy Atherton from his series, "Boreal Forest"; photographic

montage-poem-texts by Daniel Blochanowski; paintings by a young

Hungarian artist Naomi Devil; undefinable street photography by Andrew

Kochanowski; and digital graphics by an Australian "veteran"

net.artist, mez.

</p>

<p>

This new publication is chiefly focused on independent photography and

other visual work, and is published on a bi-weekly basis: on every

other Sunday.

I hope you find it interesting.

Daniel Blochanowski?

[jukka_lehmus]

Apologies. A copy&paste error, I hope. Daniel Blochwitz.

 

What a sorry piece of PR, makes me blush like a 40 watt safelight...

[michael s.]

Thanks. I will look at it in more detail.

 

First a site navigation question: it seems as though I must begin with the Atherton forest photos whether I click on them from the contents page, or click on Kochanowski, or click on another artist's name. Is that the way this is designed ? Is it my browser (Firefox) ?

[paul_shelasky]

Nice work. I agree about the navigation though. Whichever name I click on it goes to Tim's

portfolio only. Otherwise I like the simple design and photo selection. Just needs a bit of

fine tuning. Im using Safari.

[jukka_lehmus]

Re the navigation question, I designed it that way on purpose. It's like an "old-fashioned" slideshow. Maybe there should be a note on the contents page about this.

 

Thanks for the comments.

[michael s.]

I'd prefer a "live" table of contents so that if, for example, I'm a big fan of Kochanowski's street photos but less fond of forestry or digital graphics, I can click on Kochanowski and go right to the part of the magazine I'm most interested in seeing.

 

But it's your publication, so you get to make that call.

In my opinion, each of the links for the entries in the Table of Contents should point to the actual work of the photographer, instead of the next page of the webmagazine. If, for editorial reasons, you wish viewers to access the contents of the webmagazine in a certain sequential order, then those links associated with each entry in the Table of Contents should be eliminated.

Nice-looking site, although I agree with the feedback above. Tim Atherton and Andy Kochanowski? Nice company.

[doris_chan]

I made the effort to wade through the site to have a look at Andrew Kochanowski's

pictures, but only because I already knew his images were worth looking at. You really

need to allow people to go straight to where they want, or, at the very least, begin with

something a lot less dreary than the Atherton tree snaps.

[jukka_lehmus]

Thanks for the comments on the TOC and navigation, I will improve this in the next issue.

What comes to mr. Atherton's pictures, the 800×600 resolution just doesn't do justice to themI have seen them at 1600×1200as they are incredibly detailed exposures.

If you want to submit work for the next issue, please send proposals to jlehmus@sdf-eu.org thanks.

If it was just about "incredible detail" then we'd all be making 11x14 contact prints and

being hailed as great artists. Sadly, it takes a little bit more than that......
