What is your opinion of "Aperture" magazine?
Once upon a time, I used to read it every month. But it became
repetitious and the quality seemed to decline, so I dropped it.

You know what I miss. The old Shutterbug, circa early 90's, back when Bob
Shell was editor. It had meaty, useful articles, and on themed months it
was not unusual to have writers disagree with each other, so you got
multiple perspectives on a subject.
AMEN.
It was the one magazine I didn't miss.
Really good bang for the buck.
Also, does anyone know if Shell's case ever went to trial. Or are they
still messing around and keeping Shell on a short leash? The longer it
goes on, the more I believe he pissed someone in the local government due
to his shooting of erotica, and they are using a quasi-legal means of
punishing him.
I wouldn't mind knowing that myself. Bob and I coresponded for a short while
back about that time (early 90s).
