burn magazine {Link}

Todays link is burn.  It's an online photo magazine created and edited by Magnum photographer David Alen Harvey with Anton Kusters as creative director.  It's probably best described by the people that actually run it, so here is the description in their own words.

"burn is an evolving journal for emerging photographers. burn was launched as an online magazine/journal on December 21, 2008, and is curated by Magnum photographer David Alan Harvey. We publish new stories or singles at least three times per week."

Photojournalism is really what got me interested in photography in the first place.  I wanted to be a war photographer.  A photographer taking pictures of events and people whose stories needed to be told.  It also seemed pretty exciting and rewarding, I mean have you seen War Photographer?  James Nachtwey is a true inspiration and one of my photographic heros. 

Anyway, I still love a good photo story, and burn has that in heaps.  It's a fantastic site to look around and get lost in the images.  Take a look around and remember how important photography can be.

 

Conscientious {Link}

Todays link is the fine art photography blog Conscientious.  It's run by founder and editor Jörg M. Colberg and he's based right here in my home state of Massachusetts.  He covers a broad swath of contemporary fine art photography with in-depth reviews and interesting commentary.  Definitely a must read for anyone interested in this type of photography.  So go check out Mr. Colberg's (newly redesigned) site.

Wonderful Machine {Link}

Well, it's Friday link time.  This week I'm highlighting a blog I visit at least once a day.  Wonderful Machine represents photographers all over the world and is a great resource if you need ideas on marketing, portfolios, and just all around inspiration.  So go grab a cup of coffee and enjoy a wander through the site.

The Photography Post {Link}

I'm thinking on Fridays I'm going to try and highlight a blog or website I enjoy.  Todays link is the brandy new photography site called, The Photography Post.  It was founded just a few months ago by: Danielle Franca Swift, Rachel Hulin, Kate Steciw, and Henry Tam.  I found it through A Photography Blog, another site by Rachel Hulin. 

The Photography Post uses images to highlight new posts and news from around the interwebs relating to Photography (heavy on fine art).  Most of the top/popular photo blogs are covered, including: Strobist, WTJ?, Heather Morton, PDN, Aperture, A Photo Editor, and many more.

The bottom line is this, if you're interested in photography, this site is for you.  It's one-stop shopping for all the latest interesting photo happenings and musings from around the industry.  Check out The Photography Post when you have a chance.
