If you are interested in photography (and I’m assuming so if you are reading this), and specially if you are more of the tech savvy kind of person, you are probably aware of a high number of photography podcasts.

I know I am, and there is a list of them I’m following. Some better produced than others, but usually the content is delivered in an entertaining way that keeps me coming back for more. I’ve learned a lot from these “internet radio shows”.

But one thing that started bothering me is that usually they are produced by one photographer, a kind of “one-man-show”, and thus gives only one side of the story. It’s only the author’s opinion there.

For some topics that is more than enough but for others I would like to have other photographer’s points of view.

What is PhotoNetCast?

With this idea in mind, I “grabbed” the attention of three other photographers (I’m sure you know them) and we decided to start producing a podcast that is focused not only in delivering what we hope is quality content, but do it in a round table format, where each of us can share our opinions in a way that is open and invites discussion. No scripts, no bias. Just a good conversation on photography. And no, we don’t always agree with each other on certain topics.

And PhotoNetCast was created.

Who you’ll find in PhotoNetCast?

For the majority of you, the names are already associated with high quality content and experience and it’s something that we want to translate into the audio version.

Martin Gommel (Kwerfeldein.de), Jim Goldstein (JMG-Galleries), Brian Auer (Epic Edits Weblog) and me. A freelance, a semi-professional and two hobbyist photographers, coming from two different continents. Is there a better mixture?

Where can you find PhotoNetCast?

Easy. The best way is just to head over to PhotoNetCast.com and see what is around. At the time of writing, we have released two episodes of the show and you can listen to them on-site, download the mp3 versions, subscribe to the feed through iTunes or grab the normal RSS feed and listen on your feed reader.

We are planning to release new episodes every two weeks, and a good number of topics that are sure to interest you are already in the queue.

And what more?

It’s a podcast, it’s about photography and it’s our best effort.

Well, if you want ways to interact with us and give your contribute to the show, we’ve also thought about it. Comment on the blog, send us emails and send us voice comments. The idea was to create a podcast that is open to opinions and discussion, including yours. Any feedback is always welcome, specially in the beginning of a project like this.

So, grab a cup of coffee, head over to PhotoNetCast.com and enjoy the show… We hope to see you over there.

A good photoblog is usually something that is pleasing to visit, not only as a visual treat but also as a good source of inspiration.

When the photoblog gathers work not only from one good photographer but from seven of them, then it turns into a place that you should not miss.

Fine Art Photoblog

This is the case with Fine Art Photoblog. Brian Auer, together with six other known photographers, just lunched a daily updated space where you can see and admire their work. If you fancy having a nice photo on the wall, each of the works can be bought in a variety of forms, that are sure to meet your tastes.

If you want to know more about this project, visit it at Fine Art Photoblog. You can also read their press release there. If you’re used to read sites through feeds, their’s is also available.

Each of he photographers can be found not only on this new gallery but also on their personal sites:

• Brian Auer
• Neil Creek
• Andrew Gibson
• Andreas Manessinger
• Cody Redmon
• Joseph Szymanski
• David Ziser

I can only wish this group of fine artists all the best with their new venture.

It’s a space I’ll make sure to visit regularly, for it sure is up to par with the best photoblogs out there.

Sometimes I’m asked where do I find inspiration. Where do I find inspiration for my blog posts, but mainly for my photography.

I think I can speak for many photographers when I say that inspiration in photography (and probably in everything else) usually comes in bursts. There are moments when you feel that you just can’t stop shooting and wild ideas come to mind. But then, there are also the moments when the well dries up.

These are the moments that are perfect to go around and admire the work done by others, the moments to feel pleasure in just looking at a photo that is not yours and just think “Wow”…

For those moments, I keep a collection of photoblogs on my feed reader and just quench my thirst for visual beauty.

And here they are. Photoblogs whose authors I admire for their creativity, their technique and their seemingly unending visual treats.

Now I want to share them with you. Maybe you still don’t know some of them and maybe you’ll also want to, as me, become a regular visitor. Any exposure they get is well invested as these are really fantastic works.

In no particular order…
