Painting the exterior of the inner city apartment in Adelaide was pretty much finished on the weekend, just before the rains came on Sunday. It has taken most of my time since I returned from the photo trip/holiday in Tasmania. I now have some free time to concentrate on my photography and I will ensure that I do whilst I begin to paint the inside of the weekender at Victor Harbor.

It is not just a question of taking photographs every day, or post processing them ( ie., picture making) organizing and editing them into the various projects; or even critically reflecting on the work that has been done. It is also relating the projects to possible digital futures emerging from Apple's transformative iPad platform.

If publishers (and, more importantly, the public) really embrace the iPad, we're going to be seeing more than just black-text-on-white books--if you wanted that, you'd buy a Kindle--- not an iPad, which enables designers to embed audio and video into a photographic "book". The print magazine book culture already seems quaint, as does the Kindle, since Amazon is using new technology without really adapting the content.

The publishing industry is falling all over itself to promote tablet computing as a new savior for the dwindling prospects of printed books, newspapers, and magazines. They are rushing to get in bed with Apple, believing that the appeal of a new, shiny device may provide a window to charge for content that they gave away a long time ago. This is the next market that is poised to go digital.

What this means is that photographers need to multi-platform their projects in a magazine, a book or a website since each way of publishing can reach a different audience.
