Photographers from the respected cooperative photo agency Magnum are writing about the industry. The dozen or so Magnum photographers contributing to the Magnum blog (http://blog.magnumphotos.com/ ) lend a unique insight to living a life of photographically documenting the world. With categories ranging from "Behind the Image: What Happened as the Shutter Clicked" to "From the Field: Stories from Around the World" you'll learn from photographers, editors and other industry professionals.

One article in particular brings together many of the photographers: "Wear Good Shoes: Advice to Young Photographers." More than 30 photographers share how they got interested in photography and offer tips to anyone starting out.

This blog also offers some unique, and occasionally lighthearted, competitions. In April, blog readers had the opportunity to be picture editors, looking through the Magnum archives to find the photos that best illustrated a quote from Oscar Wilde. Check out the edits of the winner and finalists. 

Magnum is a cooperative photo collective, owned by the photographer-members. It was created in 1947 in France by four famous photographers: Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and David "Chim" Seymour. You can learn more about Magnum at http://agency.magnumphotos.com/about/about .
