Announcing DCPhotoGuide!
A few months back I teased many of you with a “project” that I was working on. Well, with all the traveling I’ve been doing, the project kept getting delayed. No longer! I am announcing a “soft launch” of DCPhotoGuide.com!

What is DCPhotoGuide?
From the About page:
“DCPhotoGuide is a blog specifically designed for DC Metro photographers. Here we’ll talk about being a photographer in DC, let you know about upcoming events you can photograph, opportunities to show your work in local art/photography shows, and tips and tricks for photographing this photogenic city of ours.”
Basically, it will be a photo resource for DC photographers, written by DC photographers. Anything photo-related in DC is fair game. This includes events that photographers might want to photograph (protests, concerts, events), events where DC photographers can sell or show their work, DC photowalks, or profiles of featured DC photographers, you name it!
Do I really have time to run another blog?
Not really. But that’s the great part! Over time, I will be inviting DC photobloggers to blog at DCPhotoGuide. I can’t pay anyone, but you will get an author credit, a link to your site, and, potentially your own ads in your articles! Not a bad deal. In addition, if you want to post your article on your own site as well, that’s fine! I don’t want to ask you to spend time blogging if you can’t use the content yourself, right?
But why?
It seemed like the natural thing to do, really. Many friends of this blog in DC have submitted all kinds of cool tips on photo exhibits, shows, and events that it only seemed natural to put these somewhere where all DC photogs can contribute. DC is an incredibly photogenic and exciting city with some incredible photographers, so why not have a place all to ourselves?
So if you’re a DC photographer, head over to the site, subscribe to the feed, and join our Flickr group! Some great DC stuff coming soon!

This looks great! Makes me very sorry to have moved from the DC area this summer. Hopefully I can catch up with y’all when I come into town. Best wishes on the new project. Great stuff!!

Great idea!
Wished there was a similar blog for photographers on the west coast, unless there’s one I’m unaware of.

To be honest, I’m not sure if there is or not… Though if you were to start one, I’m sure there would be plenty of interest!
Thanks!
