Here is a great list of photo
blogs from Randy Jackson (not relation the American Idol judge). It includes
traditional photo blogs and ones geared toward Photoshop. I was pleased to find
my Art and Photography blog mentioned. Randy writes the excellent blog, Random
Thoughts of a Photographer, and it is one I follow. He describes his blog as “designed
for and about what I call the "Intentional Photographer". That is a
person that has been taking pictures for several years and has advanced through
the point and shoot years, to their first DSLR, to a stage where they may be
professionals and getting paid for their work. Or, they may be photographers
that are right on the edge of going professional.”
The latter is always an
inspiration for me. I actually did some professional photo work years ago and
successfully immigrated to Canada as a professional photographer when I was a
graduate student since I could do it as a student. My immigration status as
long since lapsed, as has my professional photo work but I hope to someday sell
photos again. I mainly use photography now as subject matter for my painting
but all photos on this blog are also for sale.
Randy’s blog has a lot of
useful information beyond this list. There are also some great images that he
has taken. Many are excellent landscape with good light effects. It is worth
looking at.
