Make your own ‘HOPE’-style poster at Obamicon. None of my photos worked out great–it seems to be a portrait-style thing.

Behind the Lens is George Barr’s excellent blog, in which he speaks a lot about composition and the thinking side of photography. George loves industrial photography in a way that I never will, but the difficulty of the subject and his preference for monochrome really refines compositional thought, and he has a lot that is interesting to say.
Mark Graf’s Note’s from the woods showcases his beautiful nature photography (shooting for prints and stock) and has a lot of little insights about doing that kind of photography, in addition to technical and artistic details.
Friday Link — 26 December 2008
Joe McNally’s weblog is an interesting mix of tidbits about being a photographer, technical and professional wisdom both. A recent post about being a photographer and growing oneself has been around the internet, and is very much worth reading if you have missed it. His book, The Moment it Clicks, has been my bedside reading, and I am finding a lot of value in it, and recommend it.
Friday Links
I am going to try the tradition of Friday linking, with some blogs which I read, and think others might enjoy.
Syama-san’s Tokyo Street Cats Blog
Syama’s blog presents intimate, slightly-environmental portraits of the plentiful cats he meets on the streets of Tokyo. Mainly monochrome, but also in color. More than just cute cats, this feels like an intimate look into the lives and environments of these Japanese felines.
One of the best photographic learning sites, until it recently closed, was The Radiant Vista. Craig Tanner, at the heart of that project, and various friends, have opened a new site, The Mindful Eye, with a daily photo critique (well recommended), tutorials (sadly only viewable onsite, which doesn’t work for my slow connection), and lots of good thoughts about photography, as well as Craig’s photoblog and a set of community forums. Check it out.
