It is quite a pity that there is no qualified local photography magazine here, at least so far I know. The only one I know, which is affiliated to famous international chain of computer magazine, is too general and casual. Covering a wide range area from cell-phone camera to camcorder.

Title is Portrait Photographer’s Handbook 3rd edition by Bill Hurter. Can’t comment so much about the content yet. Just can’t wait to the end of the day when I can freely [...]
