Photo Blogs: Parodies and the Real Deals

I've been corresponding with several inspiring and thoughtful photographers who maintain wonderfully articulate and generous blogs about photography (not about their own work). Where do they find the time to do their great photography work, AND do the research for the blogs, AND share it with us? It amazes me, and I am grateful for their apparently boundless energy, wit, intelligence and enthusiasm.

Here are two must-reads on a regular basis:
Alec Soth's blog is one of the all-time best, in my opinion.
Christian Patterson's blog

And for a terrific parody of the WORST kind of photo blog, see Mike Johnston's spoof:
Daily Kibble for Photo Dawgs.

Thanks to Kurt Easterwood, of "hmmn", for identifying Mike (not Alec) as the author of the great parody. I recommend you check out Kurt's site, as well as the rest of Mike's: The Online Photographer.

Cheers!

sorry to be pedantic but I don't think that parody was Soth's, but rather Mike Johnston's....

Thanks for the correction -- I fixed it in the main entry. Much appreciated.
