Wear Good Shoes: Advice to young photographers

Take a look at what Alec Soth has put together over at the Magnum Blog. "Wear Good Shoes: Advice to young photographers" is a recent post he put together with his and his Magnum colleagues words of advice to new photographers.

Purpose Webzine

Not sure how many people know of the online magazine Purpose, but they put together some nice work. "Created in January 2006, purpose is a free and independent webzine, dedicated to the presentation of photographic work. The subjects explored are broad and relevant: "chronicles of the ordinary", "Africa seen by its photographers", "environment", "social body", "memory", "margins and frontiers", "childhood"…"

Andy Goldsworthy

Today's New York Times has an interesting article on new work by Andy Goldsworthy (we watched his film "Rivers and Tides" in lecture last week).
