NM CliQ Magazine December 2015 | Page 6

FROM THE EDITOR... IT’S THE HOLIDAY SEASON! Dave Stabley Editor / Publisher W e are covering a lot of ground in this issue, the “Monument Valley” shoot, (boy, I would have liked to have been there), the “Bosque Shoot“, the “40’s Rat Rod” shoot, and we would have also had the “Dark Clown” shoot, but for the fact there were so many photographers and models in attendance, I decided to create an entire “Special Dark Edition” of NM CliQ Magazine to accommodate the images. In addition to all these, I am even dedicating an entire 9-page spread to Mitch Tillison’s “Chair”. A word about the “Special Dark Edition”...this magazine will encompass all the darker subjects we focus our cameras on, not just the “Dark Clown” shoot. I have some images from the “Fetish” shoot that took place a few months ago, some suspension shots, a couple of vampire shots - you get the idea. This is “THE ISSUE” for your shots from the dark side. The magazine will release mid-December, so I need all submissions no later than Saturday, December 5th. Please keep in mind, that although dark, the rule is: No nudes or implied nude shots will be allowed (if it can’t post on Facebook, it can’t go in the magazine). I am always on the lookout for incredible photography, and if you have something that really rocks, please don’t hesitate to submit it for consideration. I want to show the world the talented pool of photographers, models, MUAs and designers we have here in NM. You people are AMAZING and the rest of the world needs to know that!! Since this is the last regular issue for 2015, I want to take this opportunity to say “Thank you” to all of you who read, participate and share NM CliQ Magazine. Because of you, each month the magazine gets a bit better, gains a few more subscribers, and reaches more and more of the world around us. Finally, if you are Christian, “Merry Christmas!” If you are Jewish, “Happy Hanukkah!” If you are AfricanAmerican, or others who celebrate Kwanzaa, “Joyous Kwanzaa!” If you are Pagan, “Happy Solstice!” If you are none of these, “Happy Holidays!” Wishing all of you a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year in 2016! Thanks. Until next month, Dave Stabley Editor/Publisher NM CliQ Magazine 6 NM CliQ Magazine | December 2015
