It’s time to get Nice
Nice is a new online photography magazine (a "glorified blog" according to its creator) launching today. It promises to approach its topics from a "mostly positive" point of view. From the site's intro:
At Nice our focus falls on the motivation, the idea, the process that leads up to making a photograph rather than taking it. It’s a place to find stories related to photography from a different point of view. Photo tech tips, how-to’s, photography videos, interviews, behind the scenes, advice, opinions, and photography equipment, books, and video reviews – it’s all right here. We’ll try and keep the complaining to a minimum.
I'm not sure what the thinking is behind the positive / no-complaining angle, as photography sites aren't generally seen as being negative, are they? In fact the blog you're reading right now is probably about as negative as it gets, seeing as I often write about the 'down' side of the profession, but I'd like to think I do it in a positive way. (I hope it comes across like that?) But anyway, head over to Nice (lovely presentation by the way) for some feel-good advice and tutorials, but don't forget to come back here for the usual whingeing and negativity. Apparently.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for checking out the site. A brief explination:
I don’t think of photo sites as being particularly negative – not even yours
. It’s called “Nice” because when I like something or someone tells me something cool I usually say, “Nice” or “That’s Nice.” And the positive, no complaining (well, trying not to complain too much that is) part is more about me trying to find a balance with the often dark themes or political commentary found in my photography.
