  • Editorial Aspects of Travel Photography
    Editorial Aspects of Travel Photography By its very nature, this magazine is a showcase of the past. In this issue the authors stroll the lands of two past centuries. They observe the photographs that were once laid out in the shop windows and displays of sometimes distant countries. They reflect on the items shown, and why it is that this specific series, this body of work, is to be presented to the – hopefully, at least somewhat – astonished eyes of the PhotoResearcher’s readers. Naturally, it is only possible to show a few small segments of the world in images that once conveyed new experiences.
