Randy Jackson's Favorite Photography Blogs

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.
