ADRIAN HATWELL EDITOR

It seems unreal to say, but it has been 10 years since I first started as the editor of D-Photo Magazine. While it wouldn’t be true to say that time has flown (particularly not the last few years), it still feels like I’m exaggerating to say I’ve been at this for a decade.
As photographers, all of you know well the importance of timing, and hitting double-digits feels like a natural time to farewell this excellent relationship. It’s been more than a privilege to be able to work with so many wonderfully talented people over my tenure; the photographers who allowed me to tell their stories, the writers who went above and beyond, the designers who make this publication the beautiful artefact it is, the communities who welcomed us into their midst, the industries that have always shown love and support, and the readers that kept us going all this time.
There just isn’t the space here to say all I’d like to at this ending point. So I won’t even try. Instead, I’ll just say e noho ra – , thank you sincerely, it has been a blast. And I’m very glad to be able to leave you in the capable hands of my successor, the talented Federico Monsalv.

FEDERICO MONSALVE MANAGING EDITOR

It is a privilege to be handed the reins of a publication which, for the past 23 years, has kept a macro lense focus on New Zealand’s photographic scene. The imperative is to continue producing the high-quality content that editors like Adrian Hatwell have fostered within its pages, and also form and expand bonds, collaborations, and strategic partnerships with nascent technologies, and digital channels, as well as traditional brands which have and continue to be crucial to D-Photo’s success.
My first camera — given to me by my father when I was around 12 years old — was a Zenit 11; a tank-like, Soviet machine that has followed me around the world and now holds pride of place among a growing number of retired, medium format, twin lex reflex cameras, and decommissioned SLRs. Each one of them represents thousands of memories captured, adventures,
and good times. I very much look forward to hearing about your own cameras and memories, and sharing your stories and ideas on how to improve and perfect the art, craftsmanship, and poignancy of photography in Aotearoa.
