Want to Buy WTB - The World Journal of Post Factory Photography

[holmburgers]

I'm not sure what you mean David. Are you referring to my post, and if so, what are you finding disagreeable?

I thought I was making a fairly rational point...

At any rate, I'm going to email this address and see what turns up. Thanks

Actually, I see where the misunderstanding may have risen from.

The prices for prints on alternativephotography.com are reasonable, but I seem to recall in a previous discussion that they aren't actually available anymore. I've emailed, so we'll see.

But I don't mean any disrespect to Ms. Seigel, I just mean to say that I hope they can be made available and that there are people who want it and can't get it. That's what could lead to rampant piracy of an otherwise profitable commodity.

Hope that makes sense..

Hi,
I'm sorry but I just see red when the victim of a crime is said to be at fault when trying to justify why the offence occurred. We are all responsible for our own actions. Anyway, the address above connects with Judys' daughter so you should get a reply. Good luck!

 

[holmburgers]

Thanks David,

It was really not my intention to blame Judy or anybody. I'm sorry that I came off as such. Indeed, I've never been offered a scan of the WPF nor am I seeking one... so no "crime" has even been committed.

I was just trying to say that the situation as it is, is unfortunate (if indeed it is impossible to obtain copies of the journal, which it might not be) and that such a circumstance would leave people no other choice but to seek illegal copies.

But I digress... I understand what you're saying and if your signature is any indication, you are striving to say & do what's right, which is of course commendable.

Hi,
I understand. Good luck with your quest

Well, it's been 2-weeks and there has been no reply from the above email address.

The WJPFP is unavailable by all counts, which is a shame since it would be a trivial thing to make it available again and in a way that benefits both the author/copyright holders as well as the analog community at large.

I truly do hope this can be resolved somehow and that a new generation of analog enthusiasts can benefit from the hard work and love that went into creating it in the 1st place.

Spoke too soon....

I finally heard back from Jessica Seigel and she told me that there are only 5 full copies of the journal left. She'll be getting back to me in the new year and it sounds like after that there might be only 4.

SO, if you're interested, contact Jessica at the email provided above. Also, this would be our chance, as customers/patrons/fans/readers/advocates/activists/etc to mention the splendor that would be had by making digital copies available for a reasonable price.

Remember that bumper sticker? Be the change you wanna see...

Ahh, very good. I emailed Jessica a couple of times to purchase a set and never heard back, so I emailed Malin Fabbri last night and he contacted her via her personal email. She told Malin she'd try responding in the new year, so I guess she must have started getting back to people. Unfortunately, no response for me. When I get a response, I'll ask her about continuing to make WJPFP available--whether by printing more copies or electronically.

 

[holmburgers]

That's great Barry.

It sounds like maybe your email was the impetus for her getting back to me. You might be next...

If you're in, and I know Dana (DAP) is in as well, there might be only 2 left now.

 

[gmikol]

Uhhh...maybe only 1. I saw a comment about her address being posted on alternativephotography.com and sent her a message, as well, and got a similar reply. Fingers crossed...

Supply and demand... might very well come out to a 1:1 relationship this time.

No response at all for me--frustrating.
