Photography-related magazine and newspapers
March 18, 2007
A few links to newspapers and magazines I read:
Newspapers
The Independent
- I’ve never really settled on a newspaper until perhaps recently. I’ve started regularly buying the Independent, don’t say a word. 
In the last few months it has had ‘free’ week-long specials including ‘Improve Your Photography’ and there is the odd ‘Independent Photographer’ supplement in the Web User magazine (of which I’ve only got Part 1 and 3 L). The Independent takes photography very seriously and I expect to see lots of articles and supplements in the future.

Photography books
March 18, 2007
Here’s a list of photography and Photoshop books I’ve collected over the last few months, as you can see I’ve got a lot of reading. 
Hopefully these will be good reference material and give me ideas (links go to Amazon UK pages and I will add notes to each book later):

My computer set-up
March 18, 2007
Yep I have one, well 2 and another which is sort of dead.
Hardware
I recently bought a Rock Extreme CTX Pro laptop. A laptop has been on my luxury-to-buy list for years and I decided to buy one when a much lower than expected VAT bill came my way one month. It’s amazing but eats up battery power like nobody’s business. It’s to get me away from my monster desktop machine upstairs as it’s basically a desktop replacement machine. I have a 64 bit AMD 3200+ 2GHz machine. Quick tip here, don’t buy anything 64 bit, not until 2008 anyway, bloody hard to get drivers (as its too expensive for developers to develop on) and some software will just point-blank refuse to work on it. My machine has a lush 1.5Gb of RAM and a snazzy nVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT gfx card in it. It’s dog slow at the moment. I’m about to upgrade to a 2GHz 3800+ AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core CPU and up the RAM to a total of 2.5Gb.

This’ll be the software article then, OK, no points for guessing that I’ll chat away about software here. A list of software appears below:

Photography training info
March 4, 2007
Here is a bit of info on some training I hope to take at some point. As I work and don’t have the luxury to take time off I’ve opted for the home study option. After a long period of searching the net and obtaining info from all sorts Open College of Arts came out on top.
