Online pdf-magazines (and WebPhotoMag in particular)
A few days ago a link to http://www.pdf-mags.com/ made the rounds here at work. pdf-mags is a site that aims to collect online PDF magazines or at least links to sites that serve those magazine. Art, Fashion, Photography, Design - there’s something for every taste cataloged on their site.
Being interested in photography, I downloaded the latest issue of WebPhotoMag. It’s a bit on the “big” side (35MByte), but it is certainly worth the download.
I can’t say that I’m an expert when it comes to “Disability in Cambodia” or that I even had a remote interest in the subject in the past, but after paging through the PDF document with its 86 pages featuring the work and narrative of Simon Larbalestier I’m once again amazed at how well photo-essays manage to introduce you to a subject in the most interesting way. Simon provides some haunting images and just enough text to describe the context without over-narrating.
Great stuff - I’ll be checking out more pdf-mags …
Thanks for the link. I enjoyed the pdf magazines so much!
