Christmas is just around the corner, reader!

Now is the perfect time to pick up something just for you! You deserve it, don't you?

For the next issue of Shadow & Light Magazine, we will be featuring a few photographers I reviewed at Review Santa Fe, a few weeks ago. We are still in the selection process so names will be revealed soon. Congratulations to those who will be selected.

For our Turning Pages (book review) section, we have Bob Newman with his compelling new release, "Shadows of Emmet Till." Archival images and newer comparative images are featured. Steve Immel and E.E. McCollum will both be serving up excellent writing as well as some pretty good images.

• Our very popular Single Image Showcase is back! You can put your work in front of more than 2,500 subscribers, curators, gallerists and publishers! For a great price, this a good way to get your work out there, in front of people who could make a difference in your creative life. There is room for only 4 more participants. For only $175 you will receive a full-page, 6-issue placement. That's only about $30 per issue. I think it would be a great present to give yourself!

3 Things All Photographers Should Consider at the End of the Year
|
Nikon has announced its medium-term management plan for the years 2022 to 2025, which reveals a surprising news. The company plans to wind down DSLR camera production by 2025. Instead, it plans to shift focus towards mirrorless cameras and lenses.
|
Nikon reported a profitable 2021 thanks to its Imaging Division.

However, DSLR sales declined. According to BCN Awards, its DSLR sales fell to a market share of 34 percent. Nikon appears to have made note of it, as reflected by its earnings plan spotted by PetaPixel.
