Hi Natalie!...when did you join LS?? (i've been around haunting this place for some time now, frankly more interesting than what's going on around our town...and for you and the magazine, it will be a great resource!)...sadly, .long time, no see. ..Anyway, .hello to Balint. I guess you'll (sort of) see some of my work here, but here is only stuff from this summer, more or less (less) ;)))))))......the world: size of a thumb print. cheers, Bob..p.s. can i send you an idea for a story (writing and photography?)...

A note to LS members not familiar with Walrus Magazine. Walrus is a strong, vital and excellent magazine. It's (roughly speaking) a Canadian version of Harpers or the New Yorker...or something of that ilk. The writing is excellent as are the artistic contributors. It is one of Canada's finer Monthly magazines. As for exposure for the photographers, many of the editions that I have purchased and/or read/seen have included powerful photographs by class photographers. I imagine their circulations is also large. This, indeed, would be a great opportunity for any photographer who could fit the bill for this request. It is a terrific magazine. Good Luck. cheers, Bob

O, for the record ;))): I am in NO way affiliated nor have I worked with the magazine. I do, however, know Natalie, the photo editor, and she's a great person (and a photographer herself).

Natalie,

New to LS and have recently posted a small selection of pictures from a series called "pidgin" travelling from Canberra, Australia to Port Moresby, PNG with two brothers (PNG mum and Aussie father).

Take a look at the gallery.

Hi,

I have been working on a series that concerns alternate culture and the people who live on the cusp of society in Sydney Australia.
I don't know if this would be what you are looking for, but if it is contact me.
There is a link to my web site on my porfile.
