Surprise!

Alysha Sideman

During the last eight weeks, more positive changes were going on here at imaginginfo than there are cell phones waiting to be recycled.

Now, more than ever, the focus is on you. We want to be the source you come to when you want to make yourself a better photographer, when you’re searching for business tips or the latest product and industry news.

Within the desert landscape of information out there, we want to be your oasis for photo inspiration. As your online editor, I’m dedicated to making this happen.

As you can see, we are breathing life into the Website with a totally revamped design. We’ve included room for many more images. The site has a sleeker look, making it easier to navigate and find the stories you need-fast.

Each week, you will find web-only features (with an edge, of course) that focus on the techniques you want to know about. To help accomplish this, we will scour the field to find some of the best experts in the business.

Also we’re pumping up our community section with new forum topics and blogs by each of the group’s editors. Down the road, there will be more opportunities for our online community as we add features like a photo critique area where you can have an image judged in real-time by your colleagues. Really, that’s like having 2,000 years of photographic wisdom at your fingertips. But don’t worry; the things you’ve come to love about us are all still there, especially the heart and passion that goes behind our work.

This is just the beginning of the next generation the Cygnus Imaging Group, which includes imaginginfo.com, Studio Photography, PTN, Cygnus PMA Show Daily and Cygnus Photokina News. (Check out PTN’s new size! It rocks!) We will continue to grow and get even better. Largely, what we will become will depend on your needs. We want to be the mirror image of your photographic information desires.

Tell us what you want from us. Share your story ideas, comment on our articles and what you think about the Website. You can leave a comment here or you can always drop me a line at: Alysha.Sideman@cygnusb2b.com. I would love hear from you.
Happy snapping! –a.s.

Ps. Special thanks to Sharon Wright, Eric Sorensen, Omid Jahanbin, Mike Sabroff and Kunmi Ayanbule for their work on the new site. You guys rock!
