I was up at 4am this morning so that I could fly to Adelaide on the 6am Qantas flight out of Canberra. I was returning home after ten days on the road. Thankfully, the cab arrived. It's always fingers crossed in Canberra. Whilst waiting for the plane in the Qantas Club, I explored Framelines, which I had come across through Dogmatic, and listened to PJ Harvey.

I kept on thinking about the work of Bronwen Hyde that I'd briefly seen in the second edition of Framelines. It was so different to my own. More grounded. A large portion of Bronwen's photographic the work centres around self-portraiture, urban landscapes, graveyards and dolls and is located in the world of an exhibition, a book and art photography.

I am impressed by the online art magazines, such as Phirebrush or f-stop magazine or File magazine. They are the next step on from a photography site or archives and photo-sharing, such as Flickr, or a photoblog. Their offers to submit work for publication is a way of finding more outlets for one's own work.

Gary,
The ease and inexpense of digital photography has clearly democratised photography, as it has opened up the art to a whole world of people who might not have discovered it otherwise.Digital photography goes hand in hand with the proliferation of the use of digital post-processing in programs like Photoshop.These are the words of Miss Aniela
What PJ Harvey CD were you listening to? Early or late?
