The good old days may not return,
The rocks might melt,
and the seas may burn!

If you are a Nikon or Canon shooter and can afford them, there are two excellent but expensive British Magazines with mostly content and very little advertising. PhotoPlus Magazine is specifically geared to Canon shooters and NPhoto is specifically geared to Nikon shooters. I think they are both from the same publisher. Theye are both on high quality heavy glossy stock, and when last subscribed I believe they had around 130 pages with about 75-80% content and 20-25% advertising. I subscribed to PhotoPLus for years when I was a Canon shooter.

Human innovations serve the generations that innovate them. They come in waves, washing over the sands of the past. Change is the only constant. I look back at the stuff of my youth and laugh. It was the best we had. Now, much of it is useless, although the essence of much of it remains, especially the motifs and analogies.

These days, we use virtual money and buy things with a click or a tap. They show up on our porch in a day or two. We listen to Internet radio on our phones. We watch video on our devices, from wherever there is a signal.

Last night, I had to explain the concept of a "reader service card" in the back of a trade magazine to my son and his girlfriend:

"Companies advertised in trade industry magazines. They put a "reader service number" in the corner of the ad. The magazine publisher put a post card in the back of the magazine, which you would tear out. If you were interested in advertised products, you circled the numbers of the ads on the postcard and mailed it to the magazine publisher, who would send the leads on to their advertisers. The advertisers would pull a brochure, mail it to you, then have a representative call you for a follow up, and maybe a demonstration, sample, or consultation..."

They laughed belly laughs! They don't know how spoiled they are. They are Gen 'Z'. They grew up with digital devices and the Internet. Analog methods do not compute!
