Do you photo blog?

Like many of you that are on the shady side of thirty years old, I tend to embrace any and all new technologies reluctantly and with a lugubrious attitude. A good example: my refrigerator still houses a substantial amount of 35mm film even though I have been shooting digitally for several years. But, in the case of the photo blog phenomenon, I have to say that I embraced the blogosphere - as a reader, not a publisher - early and with great enthusiasm. Why? Simply because a large number of the better blogs present an amazingly good selection of emerging talent. Over the last several years, I’ve become familiar with the work of photographers that I would not get to know by any other means. If you haven’t visited a good blog lately, here are a few killer photo blogs that reside on the Fitts favorite list:

• LensCultureWeblog
• Aphotoeditor
• Magnum Blog
• Conscientious
• Avisualsociety
• iheartphotograph
