Photojournalism: The Professional's Approach is a large book in more ways than one. Sure, it's a hefty book at 512 pages, but it also has another kind of weight: the weight of responsibility. Photojournalism as a practice has an accountability that goes beyond judgment and values; the photojournalist becomes our eyes to the world, and must try and capture only the truth and not impose his or her own judgment on an event. Photojournalism, now in its sixth edition, features interviews with leading professionals along with many examples of fine photojournalism. This latest edition has

Garmin Colorado 300 GPS review at LetsGoMobile : Garmin is treading new ground with the Colorado GPS series. An updated appearance and a more structured amount of buttons.

Just Posted! Canon Powershot G10 review
Posted on November 26, 2008 - Filed Under Digital, Photo, Reviews | Leave a Comment | 315 views
Just Posted: Our Canon Powershot G10 review. The Canon ‘G’ series has been the most consistently photographer-focused family of compact cameras on the market. This, the 8th iteration of that dynasty includes a 14.7MP sensor and a 28-140mm zoom, offering serious flexibility. The family faces stiffer than ever competition though – from the budget DSLRs that now undercut it on price and from some compelling RAW-shooting compact peers that fancy a tilt at its ‘king of compacts’ crown. Is the ruggedly built G10 tough enough to weather such a grueling environment? Find out in our full review.
