Volume 2, Number 2 (June 1979) of Photographic Portfolio marks an evolutionary transition for the publication, which previously operated under the regional title DallasPhoto Magazine. With this issue, the magazine expands its editorial footprint, pivoting from a city-centric showcase of North Texas photography to a broader survey of talent across the American Southwest.
