Comment by Michael Forbus on July 1, 2009 at 7:02am: A fantastic book by Norman Doidge, M.D. about how the brain can retool itself in the light of tragedy. It is called "The Brain That Changes Itself" and of course the new edition of the magazine called Photoshop User. Scott Kelby's fantastic magazine on Photoshop.

Comment by Michael Forbus on June 10, 2009 at 8:00pm: Many translations of the Tao Te Ching. A book I am doing art and calligraphy on in Mandarin Chinese. Having fun doing hard things. Miguel

Comment by Michael Forbus on June 10, 2009 at 10:13am: I am studying mostly Scott Kelby's training methods and some books on writing. I am translating a book called "The Tao Te Ching" into an illustrated poetic version called "IN SEARCH OF THE TAO". Looking for a Mandarin Chinese translator and calligrapher for one side of the page and all will be done with my painted photographs in an Chinese style. Miguel

Comment by Sandy on May 2, 2009 at 12:05pm: Hi to all. I would like to recommend a book by Scott Kelby called The Photoshop Elements 6 book for Digital Photographers. It works with the Mac OS and Windows too. It was published in March, 2008. It's a very practical book and doesn't get much into theory but it's well worth reading.

Comment by ros on February 12, 2009 at 6:09pm: Hello everyone I am a little embaressed because I don't really like reading too much because of lack of time but I sure do love to read here: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials.htm , I just got myself of membership in a local (Westmount) library and hope to find good magazines, but like Eva Cantrell I'm more the type to look at photographers and question them and asking them to show it to me on my camera. I will share a secret, I started with a book "Photography for dummy" it's very basic but interesting for a starter...

Comment by Moxy on February 12, 2009 at 1:40pm: I just started reading the most recent issue of PCPhoto magazine. It's got some interesting articles about the new DSLRs that also capture HD video,
