Photoblogging

I am a big fan of the current photoblogging craze - its my personal opinion that the proliferation of photoblogs, vlogs and just plain blogs is proof of the many ways the internet and digital imaging have put a universe of creativity tools and the ability to generate media in the hands of everyman.

Inevitably, there is a considerable amount of what I consider “junk” but I am also amazed at the beauty and design values of some of the photography available for viewing on the internet, lest we forget “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and depending on the nature of its context, a “good” photo is not, neccesarily, a “beautiful” photo.

What follows is an unordered list of some mostly New York City-themed photoblogs that I like:

  • http://www.joesnyc.streetnine.com/
  • http://nyc.photobloggers.org/
  • http://photos.mdpny.com/
  • http://www.bluejake.com/
  • http://gowanuslounge.blogspot.com/
  • http://www.industrialnewyork.com/
  • Rion
  • http://www.travisruse.com/
  • Eliot Shepard on Flickr and http://www.slower.net/
  • http://www.forgotten-ny.com/
  • http://bridgeandtunnelclub.com/
  • Some of the sites included above probably don’t qualify as proper “Web 2.0” photoblogs (i.e. Forgotten New York and others…) however they are still online collections of photos that I enjoy.

    I would feel remiss if I didnt mention I have (albeit pretty brief) my own personal photoblog / vlog….

    There are number of free or low-cost photoblogging solutions online, here are just a few in no particular order:

  • PhotoBloggers
  • WordPress get a free blog and skin it with a thumblogger theme
  • MyBlogLog
  • Google around - there are sure to be plenty of attractive options
  • …and of course, as a professional location scout, I am always on the lookout for unique places to present as ideas for clients and for unique ways to present location images, for that matter…
