> Which photo magazines are the best? Is Aperature worth it?

The one magazine subscription I'll never give up = DoubleTake.
Don't miss an issue if you have interest in the art and craft of
documentary writing and photography (very text heavy - but
wonderful writing).

A lot of purests let Aperture go when they moved into the "Art"
realm. I kept it coming and enjoy it for what it became - a broad
minded presentation of "current" photographic art - accros all
boundaries. Current issue covers a range from Bosnian war
photography to exposing photographic negatives to grass seed to
get a "turf" print. Very long exposure times. Lovely idea. I love
it. And would love to see one of these installations.

Is it worth it? Worth what? Worth the money? Worth the time?
Worth the thought? For me - yes, yes, yes and yes.

But then I enjoy the editor of LensWork as well.

George
