For those interested in very hands-on advise on using artificial light, the Strobist [1] blog is amazing. David Hobby is a working photojournalist and does fantastic work on-site. It's one thing to control light in the studio, but quite another to bring your flashes to a random site and improvise.
Hobby used to have a DVD set for sale which was probably the best money I've ever spent on photography stuff, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available anymore. (It appears he's got some videos on Lynda.com, however.) I understand technical aspects of photography quite well but I learned a ton about creative, improvisational lighting from Hobby.
