FVM February 2020
Posted: Fri Jan 10, 2020 12:38 pm
Is there a shortage of pictures in the world? Am I alone in thinking that the cover of this current issue of FVM (February 2020) is not only unnecessary (it's repeated on page 17 for goodness sake) but is also not high enough quality to withstand the editor's crop. It's just not sharp, and with just six cover pictures per year to represent our organisation, it's not good enough.
While I'm here, the picture on page 16 was used (cropped again) as the cover of the Dec issue. And just to prove there's a world-wide shortage of pictures, that very same image was used again on page 17 of the Dec FVM. Flip the page and exactly the same snowy picture is printed yet again in this month's issue.
I'm pretty sure Ned didn't intend to have so many images repeated in consecutive issues of FVM, so what's going on here? Is this global shortage of images the reason that in the current issue the cameraman in the red woolly hat is repeated on the same page, and repeated in the December issue as well? Why have Ned shown on camera in exactly the same position in two pictures on page 17?
You'll have to have the mags open in front of you to follow all this, but I've got to say it leaves me somewhat underwhelmed.
