Over the last 25-30 years I've had published more than 50 books, and hundreds (probably thousands) of magazine articles. Most have been on photography but others have been on subjects as diverse as the Tibetan cause, motorcycling, travel, motor cars and cookery -- and I am rather proud of my contributions to the Oxford Companion to the Photograph.
My latest book, A Matter of Opinion, was published a few weeks ago by Mage Press, ISBN 0-9527109-5-1 and is linked on www.ilford.com. It's a collection of my columns from Amateur Photographer magazine in the UK and is ideal reading for the smallest room.
Details of the rest are on www.rogerandfrances.com, under 'books' and 'magazines' on the home page.
Cheers,
Roger
And, of course, you have an article in Shutterbug (February edition). I enjoyed your review on that camera--it was fun to read.
Sadly, nothing from Frances this month, but then we've already talked about that.
I've had photos published in local newspapers, New England Home mag each month, and images used in company brochures and business websites. ...but no books in the horizon...
Photos of the Loma Prieta Earthquake, 1989. I was a co-author of this paper (C.E. Meyer) - not exactly fine art, but reportage. Most of my other publications are technical geology with few photographs, but lotsa graphs....

I just had 8 pictures and an article about me published in Issue 53 of B&W Magazine. I made a post here, on my blog when the issue came out last month.
