My favourite photo magazine, ei8ht, has changed from a quarterly to a half-yearly, and also changed the type of contents. The first of the new editions arrived last week and I had a chance to look at it this morning. It is even better than it used to be, and I thoroughly recommend it (once again) to anybody who is interested in contemporary photojournalism. They send a regular digest to subscribers, with links to the online presence www.foto8.com and various photo-stores, which I have forwarded for anyone who is interested.
