From the Editor: Photos, especially cover photos, are an ongoing challenge for any magazine. There are two key points to making the final selection. The first is to ask, “Is the image compelling enough for someone to pick up the magazine?” And then the important question for production is, “Is the image the resolution quality needed for print and will it work with the portrait aspect of the magazine layout?”
We received many amazing photos, making the final selection extremely difficult! Not all images worked for our production needs. You can find all of the photos in our 2024 Photography Contest album and many, including our People’s Choice winners, can be found in this issue. We hope you enjoy them!
