And DoubleTake is excellent too

Great Helen Levitt NY and Paul Fusco Kennedy Funeral Train stuff in the
latest, plus always very interesting contemporary work.

I find most of the current "PhotoMags" a total waste of money, apart from
maybe View Camera and the new Photovision by Steve Anchell (of Darkroom
Cookbook fame...) - which has led to me actually taking out an Aperture
subscription again... (Oh - B&W Photo [US, not UK - although the latter mag
also seems fairly neat] can be cool - just to get it for the luscious
printing sometimes...)

Outdoor photographer, American photo, Popular photo, (Lenswork seems really
mundane...photo club rivers, rocks, trees and nudes...), Practical
Photography etc just seem like a waste of money these days.

who always thought the LUG was about having opinions - it would be pretty
boring without them!
