Originally posted by RGlasel The most amazing part to me is that a long time Manitoban is also a long time subscriber to a magazine called Arizona Highways. Reminds me of the old joke about the bachelor dairy farmer who subscribed to National Geographic and Playboy because both of them had lots of pictures of places he would probably never get to visit.
good one.
I never had a subscription to Playboy..but, unlike that apocryphal bachelor farmer I did go out with a farmer's daughter many years ago.
It is odd, isn't it....me a prairie boy, getting Arizona Highways magazine and this magazine does get mail delivered to me in a plain brown envelope though...which adds to it's appeal for me..as an old married guy.
My wife's aunt was married to an American..both passed away...and he was a very interesting man and a gentleman in every sense of the word.
They lived in Alberta during the summer and Arizona during the winter months and one time left a copy of Arizona Highways, during a visit with their Manitoba relatives. One of my personal flaws is that I read everything, even the list of ingredients on the back of cereal boxes...sometimes even in both official languages of Canada...if I have the time.
I went through this magazine and was quite impressed with both the photography and and articles ..Normhead
...the fact that the mag, sometimes lists photographer, camera, lens, F stop, shutter speed and ISO with the photo.
My mother in law who many times has said that I'm so difficult to buy for, when it comes to Xmas and birthdays, jumped on my interest and has very nicely got subscriptions for this fine magazine for me, over the years.
