From the Publishers of "What Digital Camera" and "Amateur Photographer", IPC Media today has announced a new online photography magazine, "Better Digital Photography" that people can read free and fully online, it is also interactive with embedding video tutorials from the magazine and mouse-over tips. Aimed at the entry and intermediate level photographer, it is heavily devoted to equipment and technique-focused photography content.
From the IPC Media website: Publishing director Alex Robb says: This is an exciting and innovative new venture for the photo portfolio. The editorial team have worked incredibly hard to create bespoke content, including technique videos and other interactive content. I am delighted that we have secured distribution to around two million photographers to ensure that as many people as possible benefit from the excellent tips and advice. Better Digital Photography is a further indication of how IPC continues to innovate in this competitive sector.
Editor Mat Gallagher adds: We wanted to create a product that helps the reader expand their knowledge, while being easy to use. It is thanks to the talents of art editor Steve Crabb that we have managed to produce such a visually stimulating and accessible magazine that surpasses anything else in the market place.
My thoughts, this is downright awesome and VERY well done, it is like looking at an actual magazine, but the fact that it has videos embedded within for tips, tutorials, and techniques, make this even better! You can also subscribe for free, via email for upcoming issues, make personal notes within the magazine, and download a copy to your hard drive. GO GET IT!
Are you a UK photographer? If so we are asking you to sign this petition that I saw in `dxd's journal. The proposed changes to copyright law means that any non commercial entity could use your work on their website without charge or credit!!!
WE MUST GET EVERYONE TO SIGN UP SO SPREAD THE WORD

Eating disorders as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder include extreme emotions, attitudes, and behaviors surrounding weight and food issues. They are serious emotional and physical problems that can have life-threatening consequences for males and females.
According to US estimates from The National Institute of Mental Health, between 5 per cent and 10 per cent of girls and women (i.e. 5-10 million people) and 1 million boys and men suffer from eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, or other associated dietary conditions.
TEN SIGNS OF AN EATING DISORDER:
1. Drastic weight loss
2. Preoccupation with counting calories
3. The need to weight yourself several times a day
4. Excessive excercise
5. Binge eating or purging
6. Food rituals, like taking tiny bites, skipping food groups or re-arranging food on the plate
7. Avoiding meals or only wanting to eat alone
8. Taking laxatives or diuretics
9. Smoking to curb appetite
10. Persistent view of yourself as fat that worsens despite weight loss
HOW TO HELP?
Remember that you cant force someone to seek help, change their habits, or adjust their attitudes. You will make important progress in honestly sharing your concerns, providing support, and knowing where to go for more information! Since these people NEED professional help.
Some ideas of what you could do to help people with eating disorders:
1. LEARN as much as you can about eating disorders. Read articles, news, webpages, books, all that you can find
2. KNOW THE DIFFERENCES between facts and myths about weight, nutrition and exercise. Knowing the facts will help you reason against any innacurate ideas that your friend may be using as excuses to mantain their disordered eating patterns.
3. BE HONEST. Talk openly and honestly about your concerns with the person who is struggling with eating or body image problems. Avoiding it or ignoring it wont help.
4. BE CARING, BUT FIRM. Caring about your friend does not mean being manipulated by them. Your friend must be responsible for their actions and consequences of those actions. Avoid making rules, promises or expectations that you cannot or will not uphold. For example: "I promise not to tell anyone" or "If you do this one more time I will never talk to you again".
5. COMPLIMENT your friends personality, successes, or acoomplishments. Remind your friend that "true beauty" is not simply skin deep.
6. BE A GOOD ROLE MODEL in regard to sensible eating, exercise and self-acceptance.
7. TELL SOMEONE. It may seem difficult to know when, if at all, to tell someone about your concerns -- a guidance, counselor, doctor, parent or friend. Addressing body image or eating problems in their beginning stages offers your friend or loved one the best chance for working through these issues and becoming healthy again. Dont wait until the situation is so severe that their life is in danger.

Take my photo off of here. There's a difference between being in shape and having an eating disorder, and to assume that she does is insulting. She has worked hard for years to be able to run like she does, and accusing her of not eating detracts from that hard work. She's a great athlete with a great work ethic, and you have no right to portray her as having an eating disorder. You also have no right to use my photo. Especially for an article like this, you ask before you take a photo. Don't just assume you can use it and put it up. Get rid of it.
Good article on shedding light on the situation, I would of maybe picked some stronger photos with more direct concepts and intentions, clearly most of these photos aren't meant to shed light on an eating disorder.
I agree with you completely. But eating disorders are common in the athletic field. Although, I do realize this does not give the user permission to use your photo, I just thought that it was a valid point. I am sure they meant no insult the the subject of your photo. So maybe you should calm down a little?
impeccible article. fabulously done. i'm honored any of my art could be used in this feature that is dearly close to my heart. it's rare anyone do something POSITIVE and HELPFUL around the issue anymore and not just glamorizing it or just showing the bad orrr doing 'thinspo' and encouraging the disease.
this needed to be said, done, shown, and you really put a lot of time into this. many applause to YOU and thank you as well.
