What is the best photography magazine (print)?
Doing some research on this : here is a review: Popular Photography ($14/yr , amazon gives $5 rebate on that if you buy before Jul 31 2009) seems to be OK.

RIP MJ
I was reading this ( http://www.theinsider.com/news/2350105_Diane_Dimond_On_Michael_Jackson_Autopsy_Report ) about MJ and found out this comment by an "anonymous" user who is so in love with MJ that later on she gives out her name and cell no in the forum: I found this very emotional and funny, just follow her thoughts and RIP MJ, the king of pop:
"I am an anonymous person putting my opion into this case I truely belive that the doctor did this I also belive that michael jackson is and always will be my king of pop in my heart my heart bleeds because here is a man that gave everything that he had into making little children so very happy he didn't have too but he did so I don't want too hear that michael jackson was addicted too painkillres or that he was a child molster because he was never a kind of person he was the kind of person that gave and gave and gave everything he had and not once did he ever got a thank you no he didn't he got stabed in the back like a big fool that he wasn't he loved everything and everyone in his life michael jackson is the person that understood music and other people he made me very happy and I wish that I had met michael jackson and his family then I would have been the one too save michael I have healing powers and I can bring anyone back too life I truely have that power and I could have saved his I also so I am anonymous person but here is my number is (845)876-0561 I am here everyday and night so give me a call so I can give my opion about the michael jackson case because I truely belive that the doctor should be a number one suspect in my eyes that the doctor I want michael's doctor a suspect because then everyone there will hear my big mouth and I and I have alot too say about the doctor and the abusive father that he had I don't pass judgement but I will and I shall pass judgement and I won't stop just there I will go on and on and on untill my voice is heard on tv or in front of the camras I will get in front of the camras and say that michael joesph jackson was not a drug addicted to mophine because I know how it feels too be on mophine becasue I was in junior high I was known as a mophine user
