The National Geographic has published a list of photographic websites all recommended by professional photographers. There’s a lot of sites on there I visit regularly but also a whole lot of new ones. It’s definitely worth a look.

I’ve updated the blog to use Wordpress 2.0.5 today. Yep it’s Christmas, nope I’m not doing it for fun - one of my web hosts was insisting on the update. Still it’s done now and I can go back to Christmas. 
Sorry to anyone who experienced a loss of service during the update - it should be back to normal now.

Think Secret have posted ‘details’ of the features in the new version of Photoshop. This is expected half way through next year and should be a major update. Hopefully, there will be improvements to Flash (like some bug fixes) and GoLive too, although I suspect GoLive will quietly die and be replaced with Dreamweaver CS3.
Update
Adobe have now released a Beta of Photoshop CS3 - see this posting.

Photoshop News have a posting about digital camera sales appearing to have topped-out at $18 billion. Still a massive market.

Particularly since their ever increasing quality is closing the gap on ‘real’ cameras. The convenience of not…
