Photography is an on-going process of self-teaching. It is incredibly important to stay up to date with the latest trends, and also to continue learning from other photographers and visual artists. These are a few sites that keep me "with it," and inspire me to continue to develop new work (and write new blog posts). Check back often for new additions to this list.
This fantastic blog is the brainchild of Dave Hobby, a self-styled lighting guru with a knack for breaking down small-flash (speed light) photographic lighting to the basics, and encouraging people to embrace a DIY-style of illumination for their images. The Strobist approach is witty, fun, and ingenious, engaging to the new reader, and rewarding to the longtime fan. Recently, Dave Hobby partnered with Joe McNally to offer a series of lighting seminars around the country.
