100 +1 Best Photography Blogs, Websites, Podcasts, and Magazines of 2008

Throughout the year I’ve seen many blogs and websites on photography come and go. This list, while not completely comprehensive, is comprised of the websites and blogs that have made it into and stayed in my feed reader or that I regularly visited throughout the year.

The Criteria:

  • entertaining
  • informative
  • educational
  • inspirational
  • consistent
  • creative

The photography websites, photography blogs, photography podcasts, and online photography magazines are not listed in any particular order (I set my feed reader to “auto” and went down the line). I couldn’t imagine trying to “rank” these wonderful sites when the authors and administrators have spent countless passionate hours creating such a wonderful online photography community.

This is my thanks to all of these wonderful people for their hard work.

If you don’t recognize a website, blog, podcast, or magazine then it may very well be in your best interest to give that site a visit. There are some truly magnificent gems to be discovered in this little list.

Thanks for including me in the list. I just love checking out the sites that other photography folks visit. It's great to find new places to add to my RSS reader. I was surprised that you didn't have Scott Kelby's Photoshop Insider listed. Scott always has some great and informative stuff on his blog.

Thanks again,
Jeff

Wow! these lists are good for me to comment on and get some new ideas about good photography.. Thanks!

here's another one - wozofoto.com is a deal-a-day site for fine art photography. It's like a photo blog, except you can purchase an 8x10 print of the photo of the day for only $10.
