As always, our focus is on photographers and their images, and not so much about gear and technique (though a few such interesting snippets may find a spot there from time-to-time).<br />Please look out for us on Flipboard, while we continue to work on issue 3 of 18%GREY Magazine. As always, feel free to give feedback and comments. <br />Best regards - Michiel de Langehttp://www.18pctgreymagazine.com/2013/04/18grey-on-flipboard.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Michiel de Lange)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7194569093974090479.post-1704458541098977723Tue, 24 Jul 2012 17:02:00 +00002012-07-25T01:07:15.708+08:0018%GREY ISSUE 2 OUT NOW!<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/---9D8LMGJz8/UA7OH0ug1AI/AAAAAAAAG3c/XoIPmJxmqe0/s1600/Issue02-18pctgreyCover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/---9D8LMGJz8/UA7OH0ug1AI/AAAAAAAAG3c/XoIPmJxmqe0/s320/Issue02-18pctgreyCover.jpg" width="245" /></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">Good news for all Street Photographers, and Photography Enthusiasts alike:&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">The <b>SECOND ISSUE</b> of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: orange; font-family: inherit;"><b>18%GREY Magazine</b></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> is out!</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">In this issue we feature the work of <b>Frank Domahs</b> in Haiti, <b>Ingetje Tadros</b> in Africa, <b>Simon James</b> in Kashgar, and our cover feature photographer, <b>Michel Verhoef</b> from the Netherlands.</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">As before, feel free to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/417791" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>BROWSE AND / OR PURCHASE 18% GREY ISSUE 2</b></span></a></span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Many thanks for the words of encouragement following the launch of Issue 1.
