Food & Wine Just Lost Six Bucks.

I just checked my mailbox, here at work, and found a subscription offer from Food & Wine magazine.

For just six measly dollars, I'd enjoy six issues of Food & Wine, including the Holiday issue, The Healthy Eating Issue, the Spring Wine Issue and the Grilling Issue. And if I paid my $6 up-front with a credit card, I'd get three extra issues.

I'd honestly never given subscribing to Food & Wine much thought before, but I do like to cook and I'm a fan of good Food photography, so I figured 'Six bucks? Why not?'

But then I saw this: ...[W]hichever option you choose, you'll enjoy automatic renewal of your subscription annually at the then current rate...."

So, sorry, Food & Wine, you had me at $6 but lost me on the negative billing. Which I do not enjoy as much as you think.

... And we're back.

I've come back to this blog after being away from it for almost exactly a year.

Stay tuned.

Ian Regnard wrote the other day to say that he and his brother, Erick (collectively known as Tungsten) have been awarded Honorable Mention in the International Photography Awards for their underwater series of a nude with stingrays, which I first mentioned here a few months ago.
