academic publishing and student portfolios

[Herschel <herschel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Which journals and publications are preferred for publishing academic 
papers in the field of photography.

interested, on a personal level, more in the esoteric/philosophical than 
the technical.

BTW, my about-to-be graduate's portfolios are now up on the web
