Magazines Subscribed to:
Popular Photography - Mostly for the curmudgeon columns of Herbert
Keppler and Jason Schneider.
Shutterbug - for the classifieds.
Aperture - for the high quality of reproduction and attention to
topic
Blind Spot - absolutely incredible photography
Photo District News - great coverage of photography as a
profession.
American Photo - some good topic examination.
Those that I frequently buy on the stand:
View Camera - wonderful reproduction and good examination of
concepts.
Photo - french, just to see what other people in the world look at.
Photographies - french, to actually read and see a different
perspective
Asahi Camera - japanese. I read Chinese, so can usually decipher
most of the articles. They are really more gadget oriented(pretty
obvious huh) than Americans.
Reportage - french, strong photojournalism content
Outdoor Photographer - Galen Rowell's examination of color theory
is very educational.
Fotographies - spanish, a general photojournal with some very
strange stuff.
Zoom and Communications Arts Photo Annual - to see graphism.
Those that I pick up at library sales, garage sales, close-out stands
at camera stores, or read at the library:
British Journal of Photography - If you really want to test your
technical knowledge, read a copy from the 1970's. Great stuff.
Leica View - of course.
Viewfinder - of course.
Rangefinder news - basically a portrait photographer's rag, some
good articles from time to time.
Minolta Mirror, Nikon World, Olympus View, Pentax Reader - Strong
portfolios of different professional work from around the world -
using the manufacturer's equipment of course.
I don't read too many of the British Rags, like Photo Technique or
Practical Photography, just too much like teenagers in heat over
technology sort of mags. Was surprised to see Roger Hicks articles in
there. But then again, he is an odd sort of an odd person.
Anyway...I wish I could read German. I imagine there is a lot I'm
missing because of this deficiency.

I am wondering which magaizines folks read to look at good Photographs and
read about photgraphers picture-making experiences. Most of the magazines I
have seen are equipment oriented, and with my Leica, I am done buying cameras
and lenses for awhile.
I just picked up a copy of Aperture ($15!!!) but it seems to have some
wonderful images. Anyone have experience with it?
On another note, I would be very interested in hearing others descriptions of
their picture making expeditions - kind of like the one about the japanese
fish market awhile back.
Thanks,
