MSN Photos merges with Tech & Gadgets Nov,18,2004

I was surprised to read today that MSN Photos web site will be closing on November 18, 2004. Charlotte K Lowrie (managing editor, MSN Photos) inform her readers that that MSN Photos will be merging with MSN Tech & Gadgets. Below is part of her statement.

“Thanks to all the readers who shared this journey with us.

It takes a village

Many people made MSN Photos site features and articles possible. In the past four years, almost all the folks on our Microsoft team left their creative mark on the site. Even as the site merges with Tech & Gadgets, the team will be building exciting software to raise the bar on digital photography and image editing.

In addition to our Microsoft team, contributing writers made MSN Photos articles timely and interesting. Thanks to Peter Burian, Jon Sienkiewicz, Gary Bernstein, Terry Livingstone, Bill Smith, Mike Collins, Tony Chor, Jon Canfield, and Gary Voth for contributing articles.

After Nov. 18, I will be writing books and articles for a variety of publishers and magazines, and I will be taking on more photography assignments. You can check out my lastest projects on my Web site.

From now until Nov. 18, we will continue to feature photography articles. I hope that you'll visit MSN Tech & Gadgets for ongoing photography articles.

Thanks to everyone for supporting a great run for MSN Photos.
