ICONIC PHOTOS -- The stories behind those Life Magazine photos. Janet Kecans: “What person over the age of 50 does not remember the weekly arrival of Life magazine, filled with vivid photographs from near and far? Many historic events were recorded by classic photographers such as Alfred Eisenstaedt (who took the famous Times Square picture), the intrepid Margaret Bourke-White, Dorothea Lange (Dust Bowl photographs) and Robert Capa, the great Spanish Civil War and World War II photographer. But while we are likely to remember those images, we probably don't know the stories behind them and how they came to be.

WHO'S HUNGRY? -- (New Food Photography Magazine Asks) Anthony Todd: “Visiting Stephen Hamilton's West Side photo studio is like walking into a foodie

fantasyland. Stylists are running to and fro and dishes and ingredients are piled everywhere. In one corner, a huge stack of different farmhouse-style cutting boards wait for their moment in the spotlight. In another, 15 different boxes of a national cereal brand are being ripped open and individual pieces are getting the glamour treatment. We all wonder how to make those beautiful food photos that whet our appetite in cookbooks and ads. Now, Who's Hungry?, a new magazine produced by Hamilton, is going to let you in on the secrets.

The report, by analytics firm Distimo, says that the top 100 Newsstand apps account for the $70,000 in sales. http://www.creativepro.com/article/publications-ipad-newsstand-thrive

Size Does Matter… and Shape, Weight and Volume… My Latest Publishing Executive magazine column

Smair Husni (Mr/ Magazine): "I just returned from a trip overseas, and as with all my travel, I am always in a hunting mood for new magazines. Well, I was able to find some first editions, as well as some American magazines that took the journey across the Atlantic. The size, weight and shape of some of these magazines led to this month’s column (and let’s not forget the additional cost of carrying the magazines on the plane with me all the way from Amsterdam to Memphis)".
