In the past, has largely been a way for us to disseminate stories and images that have appeared in the magazine to an online audience. YouвЂ™ll see even bigger changes online at as we not only revamp the way our site looks to, you guessed it, put more of an emphasis on photography, but in how it presents information. To that end, expect to see a new look for Shutterbug evolve over the next few issues as we roll out a redesign that puts even more of an emphasis on great photography. (And, in case youвЂ™re wondering, George will still be contributing to Shutterbug as our Editor-at-Large.)Д«ut even the best locations need a fresh coat of paint and some modern renovations to keep up with the times. Shutterbug will continue to be the leading resource for serious photographers, offering our distinctive blend of photography news, gear reviews, how-toвЂ™s, and, most importantly, great images to educate and inspire you to be fantastic photographers.

George has taken this magazine to great places during his time at ShutterbugвЂ™s editorial helm and my plan is to pick up right where he left off, with a few upcoming changes. IвЂ™ve known George for most of the time IвЂ™ve worked in the photography magazine industry, which is going on 16 years, and heвЂ™s always been someone IвЂ™ve admired. If youвЂ™re a longtime Shutterbug reader, you just might be saying to yourself now: вЂњWho the heck is this guy and whatвЂ™s he doing here?вЂќ The short answer, in case you missed last monthвЂ™s EditorвЂ™s Notes, is that George Schaub stepped down as ShutterbugвЂ™s editor and IвЂ™ve taken over for him.

вЂњLocation is everything,вЂќ the old real estate maxim goes, and I think IвЂ™ve landed in a pretty good spot.
