For the month of January, we registered over 245,000 unique visits to our site, and the AVERAGE visitor to Lens Culture stayed longer than 11 minutes!

In addition to our archives of 6 years of photography articles, portfolios, critical essays and book reviews, it looks like people are really enjoying our ever-expanding audio-video interview section where you can hear (and see) photographer's talking about their own work.

When you have some spare time, dig in to our archives and you are sure to find at least a few interesting and inspiring discoveries from the wide world of contemporary photography.

We're busy preparing our next new issue, which will include discoveries from the Anthropographia Awards for Human Rights Photography and Multimedia (I was honored to be on the jury this year), as well as work from photographers around the world who have submitted their work directly to Lens Culture for our review. And in the next two months, I will be reviewing portfolios in person in Budapest, San Francisco, and Houston FotoFest -- so it looks like we'll have lots of new material to present soon!

Cheers.
