Pedro:

Just a short note to thank you for such a wonderful site.

It has been a real joy to be able to visit it. One of the things I particularly enjoy are the articles in the magazine. I have visited a lot of sites in the course of looking for photography pages and the bulk of them seem to fall into the how-to category, or are relly opportunities for individual photographers to display their own work. Nothing wrong with that, for after all, most photographers are in that camp. But it is nice to be able to visit sites that are intellectually stimulating.

If photography is a journey then there must be waypoints. For my part, I feel my progress as a photographer and educator can be charted by the books I have purchased over the years. In the beginning I bought books on technique. That was. after all, what I needed to know ( and part of a self-generated myth that better technique would make me a better photographer. In fact all it did was give me...better technique).
