The magazine fell through my letterbox this morning and I have to say it is a stunning collection. Especially helped because there are no adverts in it.
You can see some low res pages here (worth clicking on the link for Doug Perrine's grinning false killer whale
These sorts of special editions tend to come up every few years and also provide essential viewing and excellent inspiration. I always take the attitude to enjoy the collect of images that have amassed, rather than worry too much about who should be in there too and perhaps who should not. It is easy to pick holes in any such list (as it would be for films or albums). Kind of a selection of usual suspects and a few left field choices.
But for completeness, here is the list of those featured (order as listed at the front - a good number being wetpixel members) because if I don't type it. someone will ask:
Doug Perrine, Amos Nachoum, Jeff Yonover, Todd Essick, David Fleetham, Kevin Schafer, Emory Kristoff, Brandon Cole, Howard Hall, Alex Mustard, Howard Schatz, Wolfgang Leander, Jeff Rotman, Alexander Spiridonov, Phillip Colla, Brian Skerry, David Doubilet, Stephen Frink, Michael Aw, Magnus Lundgren, Jurgen Freund, Andre Crone, Andrey Nekrasov, Jean Lois Dannan, Gary Bell, Mark Conlin, Paul Nicklen, Ralph A. Clevenger, Norbert Wu and David Shale.
I don't see this being the easiest magazine to get hold of, it has taken about 6 weeks since publication and a million stamps (there was only just room for the address) for this to reach me. But it is well worth a look, if you get a chance.
