Thanks Tim; you said what I meant. I only looked at "B&W magazine" on
the newsstand once or twice, and somehow had assumed it was also
British. The "Black and White Photography" magazine, the British one,
is the one I like.
They should have named the one that came out later "White & Black" or
something, so the whole issue doesn't seem so grey.
