My photography reading list

October 24th, 2008 | 22 Comments | Posted in Of General Interest

When I first started this blog back in January, one of my first posts was my list of photography RSS feeds. Nine months, and almost 500 subscribers later, my reading list has, of course, grown. So, I thought I’d share my current list of photography subscriptions with you. You can click on each of the blogs and their feeds individually or you can download all of them in a single OPML file that you can import directly into your feed reader.

I’m sure there are some excellent blogs that have been left out, so please let me know what you think should be included in the comments!

Thanks to all 400+ subscribers!

The Lone BugleI just wanted to thank all of my subscribers and visitors because the subscriber count for this blog just surpassed 400! Running this blog has been a wonderful experience! I know I often am writing things that I hope are helpful to my readers but, in reality, all of you have taught me much more than I could possibly ever reciprocate. So thank you!

Some site news and updates!

June 7th, 2008 | 7 Comments | Posted in Featured, Site News

I want to thank all of my readers again for staying with me despite my irregular blogging schedule. I just wanted to update all of you on a few things while I have a couple days to breathe between trips.

Regular Features

Oh what a bad blogger I’ve been! As you may have noticed, my regular features (Photo of the Week and Friday Link Love) were not published this week. Given my short time between trips, I’ve been spending time making sure everything is in order for the next trip. In addition, I’ve been busy with work obligations that I need to wrap up before I leave and, most importantly, I’ve been trying to spend some quality time with my girlfriend… away from the computer. These regular features will begin again once I return to the States at the beginning of July.

However, don’t let that stop you from submitting your photos to the Let’s Quit Our Day Jobs Flickr group! There have been some fantastic submissions over the last couple weeks and I can’t wait to go through all of them when I get back!

My India Photos

As I mentioned yesterday, all of my India photos have been uploaded to Flickr. In addition, I’ve also uploaded what I believe to be the best ones to my online gallery over at SmugMug. So, if you’re interested in purchasing any of the India photos, just click on the banner below to visit my online gallery:



Spreading the Love

I try to make a point to spread the love to my fellow bloggers and photographers. You guys come up with some amazing content and photographs and I love being able to comment on them and linking to them. Of course, given my hectic travel schedule in the past month and for the next few weeks, I simply haven’t had time to keep up with all the great stuff I am seeing! You should see how many items I’ve “starred” in Google Reader! It’s gonna take me a week just to go back through that!

So thank you all for the comments on this blog and on my photos! I’ll be returning the favor soon… as soon as I have the time to go through all the magnificent content I’ve saved!

Subscriptions

Speaking of all of you, my RSS/email subscription count has surpassed 300 subscribers! Of course, it’s not going to set any records, but it means a lot to me to see so many subscribers in a relatively short amount of time. Thank you all who have subscribed! You guys are making this whole photo-blogging so much more enjoyable! Thanks!

A New Project

As I’ve hinted before in the past, I am currently working on a project designed specifically for my fellow DC photographers. It could have been launched already but, considering it’s specific to DC, I didn’t want to launch it and then immediately leave the area for a month or two. So, stay tuned in July for some news on that project. I am really looking forward to getting it off the ground!

JPG Magazine

It’s been a looooong time since I’ve submitted a photo to JPG Magazine. This month’s theme, Democracy, was one I couldn’t pass up. So, if you have the time and inclination, go on over to JPG and vote for my submission by clicking on the photo below:



That’s about all for now! I will likely be posting one more update before I leave next week regarding some of the details for my upcoming trip.

Have a great weekend!

47 Great Photography RSS Feeds

January 31st, 2008 | 20 Comments | Posted in Featured, Of General Interest, Tips and Tricks

Pillowy Sky LargeSince I first started using it back in November 2006, Google Reader has completely changed the way I consume information. I currently subscribe to over 500 RSS feeds which enables me to easily browse almost 1500 items and articles a day. Within those 500 feeds are about 75 photography feeds. These feeds encompass everything from how to break into the photography business to lighting tips to camera reviews to photos from some of the best photographers on the web. These feeds have helped me enormously in building my skillset, providing inspiration, and intensifying my passion for the art. So, I thought I’d share these feeds with all of you in the hope that you will have as much fun going through them as I have.

RSSI’ve added a little blurb to some of the more notable feeds in the list. If there is no blurb, it doesn’t mean the site isn’t any good… It simply means I probably just discovered it (while researching this very article) and I am still getting a feel for the content. If there are any sites that you believe deserve a mention, please let me know in the comments… In the future, I plan on posting a Part 2 to this list. There are simply too many great photographers on the web to get them all in one list.

I have provided all the feeds below in a downloadable OPML file for easy importing into your favorite RSS reader…
