[Wetpixel] Announcing Wetpixel Quarterly magazine

[Eric Cheng]

Hello, Wetpixel members -

This is a few weeks late, but I'm proud to finally announce a new  
magazine I've been working on with fellow underwater enthusiast (and  
college classmate) Elijah Woolery.   Wetpixel Quarterly is a new,  
quarterly print magazine that features the best in underwater  
photography, and is the result of over nine months of planning.

If you're interested in the magazine, you can continue reading for a  
full press release and a link to download the media kit, which has a  
sample PDF included.  The magazine's website can be found at http:// 
wetpixelquarterly.com. We are currently shipping issue #1, which  
features the fine photography of Norbert Wu, and the winners of this  
year's Wetpixel/DivePhotoGuide photo competitions.

Thanks for listening, and hope all has been well.

Best,
Eric Cheng
Publisher and Editor, Wetpixel.com & Wetpixel Quarterly

for immediate release

Wetpixel launches Wetpixel Quarterly, a new quarterly print magazine
Magazine focuses on spectacular underwater imagery and the marine  
environment

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — September 7th, 2007 —

Wetpixel LLC announces the arrival of a new quarterly print magazine  
devoted to high-quality underwater photography.  Wetpixel Quarterly  
brings fans of the underwater realm spectacular imagery in a  
landscape-oriented, high-resolution format. As well as celebrating  
the beauty of the deep, Wetpixel Quarterly provides a forum for a  
necessary dialog on marine conservation among photographers,  
researchers, conservationists, and the general public.  To help  
foster this community, the magazine accepts and encourages  
contributions from professional and amateur photographers alike.  
Wetpixel.com is the most respected online destination for all things  
related to underwater imaging; Wetpixel Quarterly presents an  
exciting new venue for showcasing the work of this community in print.

The magazine's founders, Eric Cheng and Elijah Woolery—both avid  
divers and underwater photographers—hope to foster environmental  
stewardship by highlighting conservation concerns in Wetpixel  
Quarterly's theme-based issues.  "By drawing attention to the links  
between the beauty of the underwater world and the action required to  
sustain these environments," says Woolery, "we're hoping to increase  
interest in preserving threatened areas around the globe—and to help  
protect those areas that are still pristine."  Through interviews,  
articles, open contests, and, most importantly, the lenses of its  
contributors, Wetpixel Quarterly brings to the page a new sense of  
the fragility and splendor of underwater life.

About Wetpixel Quarterly:

Woolery to create a high-quality quarterly showcase of the best in  
underwater imagery in conjunction with news and information about

landscape orientation using 50% recycled materials. For more
