december - christmas is in the ads

♪ jingle bells, consumerism smells, i've been seeing christmas ads since june... ♫


well it's finally december, christmas ads are going to bombard us like there's no tomorrow (or rather, like it's almost tomorrow. and tomorrow is called christmas.)
i hope they get a little creative this year and stop feeding us the generic kid looking at a tree, white family smiling and laughing crap
c'mon people.

it's not only the name of a file, it's the name of a magazine.(;
not only do you get an amazing magazine, you get a loaded website :D
ex.: featured stories (from anything from a photographers story on their set to advice about what to do when people approach you when you're taking pictures of their stuff)
themes open to submission and voting (winners will be in next publication)

tomate de arbol
argentinian visual arts magazine (don't worry, it's translated into english as well)
recently created, so i can't say too much but so far it's got a relaxed indie vibe

posi+tive magazine
no, it's not a boring feel-good pop magazine, its another indie style photography magazine
oh, and it's italian. ;D
this current issue (no.4) displayed sets of pictures created by a photographer (i.e. desicive moment, around, dude&dudette)
i should mention that, unfortunately, they aren't able to translate everything in the magazine
however, the website is in english! <= it's not about the mag really, it had music, fashion, and all that cool stuff(: more lists..
