Now one or two of you may have worked out by now that I participate in the odd forum or two in parts here and there. With that in mind, I thought I'd slip in a little surreptitious advertising into the old place and hope that you look kindly upon this change to the advertised programme. I'll leave the actual advertising screed to Terri who is one of the co-owners (nice girl, so she tells me). So with that, have a little read and feel free to drop in and have a chat - it's small and cosy at the moment, but it is hoped that the place will grow in time.

The Photo Beat

What does your photography mean to you? How does it intertwine in your daily life? Is photography your personal artistic outlet - or does it help you pay the bills? Maybe it's somewhere in the middle.

Regardless of how you answer these questions - or if you can yet answer them at all - we invite you to join us.

Photography has changed dramatically in the last decade, while fundamentally staying the same. This statement could be applied at virtually any stage of photography's history, and perhaps its paradoxical nature is part of our fascination with the craft.

Whether you are an experienced old hand or an eager novice - or somewhere in between - ThePhotoBeat was created as a place where learning can be enjoyed at any stage. Our mission is to focus on education of the art and craft of photography, through discussion, feedback and critiques - and it is our sincere wish that this will make ThePhotoBeat a special place tucked away on the worldwide web, with interesting members and a simple, functional layout.

We welcome your input and feedback as you become part of our community!
