Had a couple of issues dropped off at the shop a couple of days back. Most promising magazine publication I have seen here yet. Any other opinions?

I'm on the fence so far. I love the design, and it's a beautiful magazine. But I do agree that there is a bit of a pretentious quality to it. It looks lovely on my coffee table though, and I'll check out a few more issues for sure.Posted 3 years ago # -

I've been supposed to go help distribute all week, but have been swamped and am feeling WAY guilty! :D
I'm very close to Scott and the folks involved, and therefore extremely biased, but I really am excited about it. Visually, I think it is truly beautiful, and the idea of the contributor based content brings a perspective I feel like I haven't seen before.
Its kind of funny that TT started this thread, because he was going to be getting an email from me about contributing like Maren did in issue one for an upcoming issue LOL!

Being an employed designer and hearing people say the opposite about the look than what I thought.. makes me rethink my profession :p

I skimmed it yesterday and saw several articles I want to study more. The choice of Dave Bihn from Grapes of Mirth to discuss wines is genius. On the other hand, the first issue took so long to premiere, it was upsetting to read about Chef Drew at Details. Hopefully, future editions will have a little more timeliness.
That being said, it is gorgeous. I'll make sure that my parents get a copy of next month's edition when they visit. It would probably be a good idea to leave these at hotels in the area.

C&F, absolutely planned to be more timely. There may be a 2 month break between first and second issues, but the plan is monthly from then on out from my understanding!

That makes a huge difference, to me.

I was really surprised to see how well done the magazine was. I love the contributor concept, and like the idea that we'll hopefully get to see the work of more Columbus area photographers. I get kind of tired of seeing the same style of a singular photographer in other Columbus magazines. I'll admit I didn't read the content too much, just skimmed it, but then I look at magazines for the art and photography so that's not really a slight against CMH.
I am curious though, will this continue to be free or will there be a charge for it in the future? Of course I *hope* it stays free, but I can see myself paying for a copy, if the price was reasonable. The art/photography aspect it just that exciting for me!

It is going to remain free (unless you subscribe). I'm a big fan of Scott's work already, but seeing Steve Vaccariello in a local magazine is pretty impressive (even if we've known the guy for years). Kyle Widder hasn't shot anything yet (at least I don't think), but I like Kyle's work too.
