Magazine Review

     This magazine was really interesting in that it's topics included travel photography, flash photography, digital black and white, and photo projects. The travel articles were pertinent to pretty much every kind of photographer. Especially the tips about packing equipment for airplane travel. I learned how to avoid damage to my lenses and camera.
     My favorite articles were the ones about photo projects. They were all very creative and unique and I'd like to try some. What was great is that they were pretty clear in how to execute each technique respectively.
     The entire magazine did an excellent job of explaining through pictures. Rather than just writing about a cool new style of photography, they'd show what that looks like in a picture showcasing that new style. Or they'd have pictures of a step-by-step instruction. All in all, I like this magazine and would probably subscribe.

Jim Zuckerman: famous for- international photo tours/work shops
equipment- canon 5d, wide angle lenses, medium telephoto lenses, super telephotos, and macro lenses.
genre- focuses on natural structures/nature, exotic culture and landscapes
attraction- I like that his photos are so flexible. Each picture is vastly different from the last, but they are all captivating and interesting.

Pocket Portfolio

1. I think these booklets are an amazing idea! Honestly, I never keep business cards and small books without too many words have always seemed novel to me. If I were presented with a pocket portfolio, I'd keep it and the photographer in mind because, already, even without seeing the pictures inside, they've shown me creativity and ingenuity as well as pride in their work.
2. This style is a good idea because it's automatically going to be thicker than business cards and, therefore, it physically sticks out among others. Also, you are giving people your work to look over and make opinions on that they can keep. You're not giving away free images and losing money because the pictures are too small, but they capture the essence of your work.
3. A disadvantage to these pocket portfolios is that you will most likely only pull a few clients from this form of advertisement. It sets you apart from other options, but there is no guarantee that these people will bite. In this sense, you could potentially lose a sum of money from developing these books, but it likely wouldn't be much if you end up pulling at least one client from it.
4. Yes, just like how you wouldn't share the details of a unique technique/image that you created or figured out yourself with others, you probably shouldn't share with the public your publisher for a creative idea that you came up with. He wanted to inspire others to think outside of the box and set up an opportunity for us to further our businesses, but it's not his responsibility to just hand it to us.
5. I mean, I personally didn't really feel like the title was misleading and I didn't expect a full how-to  on the subject, but since most people felt like they were given false hope, I suppose the blame would be on the website publisher. In the comments, the author explicitly stated that he did not come up with title, but that it was drafted by the website publisher. His goal was to get an idea out and the publisher should have made that idea clear in the heading, but, again, I really didn't feel betrayed by the headline.
6. I feel like most questions were completely relevant and appropriate to ask, as were most opinions (be it praise or criticism). Although, there was one comment in particular that tore up the article and essentially disrespected the entire idea. Because of the "trolling" age we live in, it's hard to tell if this person is just an educated prankster with a substantial vocabulary or if it is truly just a severely disgruntled snob. If anything, this commenter's point was just a fair bit off topic from the article.
