Blogging along…
Thanks to a short article in the current issue of PHOTOGRAPH magazine, I’ve bookmarked three blogs I want to keep in touch with…in fact, I’d be much further along personally and professionally if I logged on to these each morning during breakfast instead of reading the regional newspaper (my husband needs to subscribe for the comics and crossword/puzzles) which is shrinking daily and covering all the news I read the day before online.
So don’t let these pass you by.
pictureyear.blogspot.com – Dealer James Danziger must be up all night writing his blog. He owns Danziger Projects in New York City (and is former director of Magnum Photos/NYC). In June alone, he wrote about Misrach, photos of RFK’s funeral train taken in June, 1968, large format landscape photographers, YouTube images to link to, Iranian beauty contests,Tim Walker’s London Show, surreptitious photographs of his own – and on and on. Tons of images to soak up – really worth the time of all of us busy people. Lots of reader comments to enjoy as well.
howtobuyart.blogspot.com – most of what I saw here is about photographs, so log on and go to it. I really like the tone of the blog and the chance to see some other things I don’t have time to dig for myself. Lisa Hunter, the writer, is an arts journalist now based in Montréal, but recently in NYC, so she has lots of experience with that “art scene of art scenes”.
5b4.blogspot.com – if you suffer from the same illness I do — can’tresistphotographbooks-itis — you will find this blog provides some very effective medicine! Not just the usual easy-to-find photography book titles are reviewed and discussed here, so if you want to get out beyond your Amazon wishlist, bookmark this blog. A really good part of this blog is the reader comments – some real in-depth info. from other people who share this uncurable condition!
