CHIP SHOP COMPLETE

A CHRONOLOGICAL LISTING OF
EVERY CHIP SHOP ARTICLE

John Henshall's Chip Shop has appeared in The Photographer magazine regularly since January 1993. This makes it the longest running series in the world on digital imaging - though John was writing about digital imaging long before this.

A Chip Shop is a purveyor of the original British fast food - Fish 'n' Chips. These days a Chip Shop could also be a supplier of Silicon Chips - get it?

Each month, Chip Shop deals authoritatively with all aspects of digital imaging. Over the years it has had many "scoops" and each month a special Web version of Chip Shop will appear here as it is published in The Photographer.

We have also agreed special subscription offers with the publishers if you wish to subscribe to the printed edition of The Photographer.

Articles shown in magenta are not yet available on the Internet but are available by taking a subscription to the printed magazine.
