		<title>Blog of the Week: southliving</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Blog of the week this month is southliving written by China based OCA photography student Dewald Botha. And written is the operative word, one of the defining features of Dewald&#8217;s learning blog is the way that he sets out so clearly his thinking about his work &#8211; both in advance of shooting and then subsequently.

We think this stuff is all in the Photography Handbook, but then we would, wouldn&#8217;t we? The other week we took the opportunity to ask Michael freeman to set out [...]]]></description>
