Great Photography Websites From My Readers
On April 26th, I started a photography blog project asking readers to submit their photography-related websites to me for inclusion in this article. With this being my first attempt at a blog project, I wasn't sure what to expect. I figured I would get around 20 responses, and I was hoping for 30.
I was overwhelmed at the response as the number of site submissions reached 59! Two of those are mine, but that's still pretty good! A big THANK YOU to everybody who helped spread the word and promote the project. I split the submissions into three groups: blogs about photography, photoblogs, and galleries. There are 23 blogs about photography, which include mostly written works on the topics of photography. There are 15 photoblogs, which include “picture-only” type of posts. And there are 21 galleries and portfolios. In addition to including these sites in this list, I've added any feeds to my feed reader so I can continue reading.
I hope I haven't mis-categorized anyone's site, screwed up the link, misspelled a name, or anything else along those lines. There were also a couple of sites that walked the line between some of the categories, so I hope I got them mostly right. I did my best to keep the list up to date, double check against the submission emails, and verify the links. But if there are any mistakes, please let me know so I can fix it before sending out the list to the participants.
And now, without further ado, I present the 59 best photography sites on the Internet.

May 4, 2007Vivien — Thanks for the comment and the digg. The Problogger of Photography Blogs, huh? I don’t know if I’d go quite that far just yet, but it sure has a nice ring to it. I also might have to wrestle Darren Rowse for that title since he IS the Problogger and he DOES have a couple of photography blogs.
Paul
