I have a post on my blog intake as well: http://gabrielaherman.com/blog/2009/02/25/my-blog-intake/ and yes, it is always changing.
This is one of my favorites because the content spans multiple topics and her photography becomes more of a tool.

@emily,
LOVE this blog.
@emily,
I have looked at most of the blogs listed and this is the only one I booked marked. I love what she is doing. Unlike most of the others she has created her own editorial content. It also seems she has an audience that expands way beyond the photo world.
Here is our Web site. We have various interesting departments including photo critiques, blogs and articles to learn about photography. We also sponsor photo contests and competitions.

Doug Menuez writes a thoughtful, candid blog called “Go Fast, Don’t Crash”: http://dougmenuez.com/
@Kristina Feliciano, Doug’s verbal skills are equal to his camera skills in drawing you into the vision in his mind. His blog is one of my favorites.
I have been narrowing down the number of blogs that I read, I find that this site has diverse offerings, even comes back here.

gotta get it out there somehow, right?? ;)
thanks for the list, definitely some new ones on there. If anyone is using google reader, look me up and add me, I love the “share” feature on that thing… it’s one of the best ways to keep up with things. And if you’re not using google reader… well, check it out.
Http://adjustmentlayer.blogspot.com. That’s mine
My blog is 90% photography! take look.
best,
Ruben
Don’t forget the inspiration blogs too. Inspirational, or depressing, not sure which.

http://blog.yimmyayo.com/
These are excellent with a good stout cup of coffee in the morning.
I second many of Rob’s choices, dvafoto.com is a good mix of personal and other people’s work from Matt and M. Scott
Gonna add mine in the mix
http://www.jeremymlange.com/blog
update it regularly with new work, both personal and assigned, and the occasional rant or random thought, or work I really like from others
Gotten good feedback from others, both personal and professional contacts, and try to cross post on the networking sites for better exposure and promotion.
Also, my mom keeps track of me this way when we do not talk enough

You missed http://www.theferaleye.org !!
it’s hard to find a photographer’s blog that stands out from the rest. so much of the same. i’d have to say that rodney smith’s was the only one worth visiting.
art director-turned commercial photographer,

My blog is geared towards stock photography, if you’re interested in that sort of thing: http://untilitclicks.blogspot.com
(I apologize if this is a double post – I received an error when trying to post last time)
Thank you so much for posting the links to the blogs you follow. This allows your followers the added luxury of seeing even more of the landscape of the industry from your perspective. Usually in looking around at other photographer sites and blogs, we gain inspiration which usually translates to a shot in the arm for both persistence and for creativity. Sometimes however, we get more. Sometimes we get personal history that catalogs the track a specific photographer followed on their way to their appointment with destiny. Somewhat less frequently are we treated to guidance that tells us how to be as humans with all the technical relevance to the profession removed. In relation to this, I felt compelled to call out something in specific on one of the blogs you mentioned because it is so fresh to me. There is an article on Jerry Avenaim’s blog (http://blog.avenaim.com/2009/11/19/photographer-fellowship/) entitled Fellowship in Photography. I heard this same message from Jerry Avenaim 4 years ago when I first attended a seminar of his here in Austin Texas. His post which encourages photographers to look at each other as comrades and not competitors is summarized as “As comrades you help each other and experience far more success than you will failure because you are brothers and sisters in arms.” This is something Jerry has been sharing with photographers for years in his seminars, and I try to live by. Because the concept will shift a mindset (if you let it), this has done more for me personally, and will continue to do so, for my growth as a human and as a photographer than learning a new lighting style. As I look to learn from Jerry’s skill, creativity and success, I also seek to live by his mantra. I have seen him demonstrate this consistently over the years when I sought advice – Its not just something he posts a nice article about, but it is something he lives by.
great. another reason to get sod all done today.
:P
^Cue dozens of unsubtle plugs for reader’s Blogs.
The only Photographer’s blogs I make time for on a regular basis are The Sartorialist (a very clean blog often almost devoid of text, the comments neatly hidden), and this: http://www.thedailynice.com/site.html
They used to say that a picture told a thousand words.
Scott and Jason have not forgotten this.
Why is it that in order to survive, Photographers think that they now need to go up against Journalists (you know, proper writers), and Video Directors (you know, those guys who have been working in screen-based media since age 16)?
Time was, many Art Buyers and Photo Editors would decry a’Personal Statement’ or Bio on a photographer’s website as almost cringeworthy, conceited and generally a bad idea. “I don’t want to know your life story son, I just want to see PICTURES goddammit!”
Now they (apparently) want to know who I had a drink with last night…?
Please.
I love to see this type of post on the blogs I follow. It’s always smart to find out what the people you admire are paying attention to and then start paying attention to it. Thank you.

I appreciate being on the list Rob, thanks for noticing. One I’ve been following as well has been http://www.jmg-galleries.com/blog/ I met Jim at Photo Plus Expo this year in the speakers lounge. Quite a nice guy and very impressive body of work.
PS. Thank you for the kind words from Mr. Hanan up there, I’m happy you enjoyed the entry.
booooooooooooorrrring.
I like this.. it’s somewhat new..

This one is in Swedish, but the pictures speaks volumes: http://pontushook.blogspot.com
Thanks for the list.
Here’s yet another shameless self promotion:
http://blog.mimikatz.com/
Wow, thank you for this nice list of PROs…
England’s Pleasant Pastures is a photo-led blog but not actually about photography. Rather, about Englishness and self with an extra hint of mid-life turmoil and delusion .. if that at all separates it from all the others.
But I leave it to you to make your own minds up:
http://englandspastures.wordpress.com/
Best wishes,
Richard Baker, London.
Just putting in my two cents and doing a little self promotion. My blog at http://www.colbybrownphotography.com/blog/ usually covers a wide variety of topics from new photography work, information on upcoming documentaries, photography tutorials and general information. Check it out if you have the time.
Good list, and the comments brought in some good ones as well. It’s hard to find photo blogs that are inspiring.
This is an interesting one:
http//:acagedbirdsingsandthings.blogspot.com
I like the images and mix of content.
Thanks for the list. It is going to take days to visit all of these properly.
A few must visits for me include:
http://www.rachelhulin.com/blog/
http://lenscratch.blogspot.com/
http://www.americansuburbx.com/
Since everyone is doing it, and apparently in response to my father’s qurstion posed to me in high school, yes I too would jump off that bridge.
our blog is:
http://blog.katandduck.com/
Relatively new but having fun doing it.
Thanks for the great list of blogs to add to my reading list!
