Photography

Photoblogs are fantastic, but every now and then I like to crawl up on the couch and take in one of the many photography magazines on the market. There's something about flipping the glossy pages and day dreaming about owning the new Canon 1D Mark III or reading up on the latest HPD editing technique, etc. Either way, the Internet is amazing, but magazines will not go away anytime soon. Next time you are at the book store, stop by the magazine rack and check out these fine publications.
