There are also a number of interesting magazines that are published outside the US. Practical
Photography, published in the UK is one that I have enjoyed. I think that there are at least two
magazines with the title Photo Technique. Magazines like Aperture put the emphasis on the photo, rather
than on the mechanics. Natures Best offers images of the natural world that rival the very best published
anywhere.
The best source for many of these magazines is a book store or news stand with a good magazine
section. Borders is a national chain that started in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and their outlets often offer a
greater selection of titles than some of the better known Mall Book Stores. If you can't find what you
want at your local store, perhaps they can order it for you. With foreign magazines it is often cheaper to
get them on the newstand than it is to subscribe because when you subscribe, you pay for the mail
charges for delivery of each single issue to your door. When you buy at the newstand, the shipping
charges for a whole bundle of magazines is spread out over all the magazines in the bundle.

"Lens Work" is a quarterly magazine that I just found out about. It is about "essays and articles on
photography and the creative process". The Fall 1996 issue I have has excellent photos that are
reproduced very well, along the "Aperture" lines. Call 1-800-659-2130 for further info. About $9.00 per
issue.
