Blog I will be following

http://yourshotblog.nationalgeographic.com/

I will be following the National Geographic Your Shot Blog. I joined the National Geographic Your Shot Photo Community last September ; it's a place where you can share your original photos and comment on others.  I didn't even realize they had a blog until this class when I was looking around for something to follow!  I'm glad I found it.   In the blog they showcase an original photo with an accompanying interview by the photographer who took it.

  1. Thanks Jennifer for sharing. The blog looks like a great place for aspiring photographers.

    The blog I will follow is: "Portraits of Boston" (http://portraitsofboston.com/). The blogger, I don't know he or she, takes pictures of people in Boston along with interviews. My favorite post starts from an interview excerpt like “I’m a mystic. I’ve been studying mysticism for 40 years.” What I like about this blog is the photographer tries to capture every segments of population you would see in Boston; Some are financially challenged, some are rich. Some are young, some are old. Some are cheerful, some are, let's face it, gloomy. Some of the posts reminds me characters you would come across in George Orwell's "Down and Out in Paris and London" and Henry Mayhew's "London Labour and the London Poor."
