As part of our ongoing efforts to reduce paper waste and costs, we are starting an experiment with email renewal notices for LensWork and LensWork Extended. If we have your email address, we'll send your next renewal notice from renewals@lenswork.com. Please add this as an approved address to your spam filters and help us reduce the need for paper renewal notices.

If you want to be sure we have your correct email address, drop us a note at the address above and we'll update our records. This may seem like a small thing, but it all adds up and makes a difference!

If we don't have an email address, we will still send a paper renewal notice via snailmail.

Thanks for your help!

We've just released a new folio collaboration by David Grant Best and Brooks Jensen entitled Tangerine Gifts.

In 1990, David Grant Best and Brooks Jensen photographed in the northern region of rural Japan known as Tohoku. From their experiences and photography during that trip, they produced in 1992 a handmade artist’s book called Tangerine Gifts.

Now, using recently rediscovered original letterpress text signatures, this LensWork Special Editions folio recreates Tangerine Gifts in the new “folio format.” As a folio, eighteen of the best images from the trip have been selected for this reissue, produced from new scans of the original negatives — only three of which were in the original artist's book.

Introductory price in effect through May 31st.

As most of you are aware, we pulled LensWork from the magazine racks last spring in order to reduce the waste produced in that inefficient distribution paradigm. We received overwhelming support from our readers — thanks! Some of you may not know that LensWork is still available in camera stores. If for some reason you cannot find it in your favorite camera store, would you email us and let us know? We'd be happy to contact them about our publications and we'll be sure to let them know that you've been looking for them in their store.

Besides, in our small community of those who are passionate about photography, we'd rather see camera stores get the business than the mega bookstores whose attention to photography books seems to be waning with every passing year. Let's support photography!
