Great summary from It’s Nice That: “A magazine is a very personal item – like ice cream you’re never going to like all the flavours, and there’s always one or two that you always find yourself leaning back towards. Those that we seem to have more affinity for either hold a certain shot of nostalgia (The Face / Nova), a good dose of quality writing and original features (Wired / 032C) and of course a mention should be made to the independents (Little White Lies). It seems as though popular opinion would suggest that in the age of mass consumption through the internet, we look to our printed friends more for niche information and as company, rather than a quick fix of small snippets. When we pick up a magazine we want something a little more special than the process of consuming a web article, it should be a (pleasurable) physical experience, not just a literary one. It seems as though the editors with that in mind will continue to survive, and perhaps even thrive.” Via
We live in a publishing society: Mercedes Bunz about the Social Media Count. “When the internet became a mainstream medium, we described it as a “pull” medium opposed to TV, which was a “push” medium. But since social media has got popular there is more to it: after push and pull comes publish.”
Hans Aarsman, Claudie de Cleen, Julian Germain, Erik Kessels, Hans van der Meer just collected and edited a new number of Useful Photography: Photography is especially useful when it is aimed at helping the unskilled take better photographs. Useful Photography #009 examines the world of photography manuals and celebrates the pictures used to help us understand our cameras, take better pictures and identify our disastrous mistakes. In this digital age, where mistakes in photography can be rectified in an instant, Useful Photography thought it high time to dedicate an issue to the photography manual; with images sourced from the days when manual also meant the type of camera you were operating. Every manner of what can go wrong, and how to correct it, is explored. Yet, aside from telling us how to correct the double-exposed, the poorly lit, the out of focus or the red of eye, the series within also allows us to see that mistakes – as defined by these helpful brochures – have a rare, never to be repeated beauty all of their own. Learn all about photography, or how dangerous pigeons look in extreme close up in the latest Useful Photography #009. See more pictures and order your copy for 25 Euro here.
