“Photography magazines have all pretty much devolved into billboards for whoever will pay their bills. Good Light is different. It gives practical inexpensive techniques that anyone can do as well as technique to push a photographers skill level. I’ve pretty much given up on magazines except for GL. This is the only one I actually subscribe to.”

“Wonderful and bang on the editorial! I loved the last paragraph of Mark Gaso in Issue 57. There are so many power, and to the point, truths and wisdom in that paragraph. It’s an impressive piece of writing. I have chosen several of his points, written them boldly and put them up around in my flat.”
