		<title>Zen and the Art of Photographic Appreciation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my deeply philosophical state of mind in recent times, I&#8217;ve been reflecting on what  photography is really all about. And one question in particular has been on my mind:

		<title>366 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is happening in the TTL world? I mean what is happening &#8230; ? TTL is following the crowd and doing a &#8220;pic a day&#8221; project. I&#8217;ve been intrigued by the 365 idea for some time, and 1st January 2008 seems an ideal opportunity to move it along.

		<title>So Digital makes it easier &#8230; ?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Digital Photography makes things easier”, or so they say.
Any counter-claim is likely to be regarded as heresy by the zealots: an opinion that you are not allowed to have. “Away with you dinosaur luddite …” they would say.
Now it has also been known for this writer to exhibit cynical tendencies occasionally. Whenever I hear claims [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beating the Photography Blues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever had that blue feeling ?  Just blue.  Down.  Depressed.  The kind of feeling that has you thinking you&#8217;ll never make a good photo ever again. What can you do to get out of it?

		<description><![CDATA[This is another archive publication of images from the second-largest, oldest and emptiest of the Canary Islands off the Atlantic coast of North Africa. Not a description that in itself would generate much excitement. However, Fuerteventura is wonderful, with expansive dunes, wild beaches, barren inland hills and fabulous colours. It is also a therapeutic haven, [...]]]></description>
