Issue 1.

We published the first issue of the year of The Medium this Tuesday. The issue went off without (too much of) a hitch. No big problems with our printer, which is surprisingly strange, because usually we get a call at 3 or 4 am in the morning telling us we need to re send them files because the ones we sent had errors. So I hope thats a good sign. We shall see. There was nothing too big in the first issue, which is to be expected, mainly just frosh coverage.

I took the cover photo (below) during the annual frosh parade through the U of T annex area. For the strobists out there: D90 with 18-55 f3.5-4.5 and SB600 on camera for fill flash to equal out the bright sunlight in the background. The photo didn’t turn out too bad, I just wish I had some better optics in the wide section. I difference is huge when going from a 35 f1.8 to a 18-55 f3.5-4.5. I’m thinking of either the 18-55 f2.8, or a 12-24 f4, but both run about 1,000. We’ll see what I can afford.
