Editor's Note:

Dear Readers,

Welcome to the seventh issue of Photoblogs Magazine. This month I'm excited to be revisiting the unique work of Nitsa, who was featured in our first issue. I think you'll find her experimentations with Alternatives in Street Photography quite educational. Jim Stratton adds a nice touch of science and exploration this month with his article chronicling NASA's unmanned mission to Pluto in, To Pluto At Last. For proof that the personal experiences of photobloggers overflows from hobby into journalism, please don't miss Kresta King Cusher's account of one young Rwandan orphan in, Orphans of Genocide. If you're looking for something to break the routine of your 35mm photography habit, you might want to consider Tread's advice and take an adventure into the Plastic Reality of toy cameras. If you are interested in a more poetic sojourn, have a look at Tomasz Trzebiatowski's examination of the walls he is encountering in, Noticing the Unnoticeable; and also Silvia Ganora's poetry of trees and landscapes in winter in her article, Winter Bareness.
