Cannot wait to see this issue.
That is pretty impressive that we had so many people from our part of the world represented.
Amazing
No Juan Cabral?
IMAGINE THE COMBINED EARNING OF THIS CREW.
For $300 a copy you’d think they could do a slightly classier cover.
Obviously none of the luminaries mentioned created it.
I suspect most agencies will pass.
Congrats to everyone @ Shots! Super teamwork for making shots what it is!
