I believe that the age of the magazine-now over 62-yeas-old!-has something to do with it, as color photographs and pages have a tendency to fade and discolor over time.
I suppose that some of it is due to the printing process, which the magazine proudly claims is “Micro-Color Lithography” printed on “Glossette Offset Enamel 70-pound base” paper. It has page after page of amazing photography! I really love the look of the pictures in this particular issue-while not every image looks alike, there is definitely a commonality to the photo aesthetic. I recently found the December 1960 issue of Arizona Highways in a used bookstore. While it is not purely a photography magazine, Arizona Highways is a publication that photographers love due to their passion for the medium. The publication is full of wonderful images even to this day. Barry Goldwater, Ray Manley, Chuck Abbott, David and Josef Muench, Ed Ellinger, Esther Henderson, and many other talented photographers were often featured. From the beginning, Arizona Highways has been dedicated to the art of photography. It began in 1925, and in 1946 published the world’s first all-color publication. Eventually I would become a photographer, and I would be significantly influenced by the pictures from that magazine.įor those who don’t know, Arizona Highways is a magazine with an important history. I didn’t know it at the time, but that simple act had a profound impact on my life. I love Arizona Highways magazine! When I was a kid, my grandparents, who lived in Arizona, would give me their old copies of the publication. Ranch House – Tucson, AZ – Fujifilm X-T5 – Summer of 1960 Recipe
