Blog ideas to get you started

The idea of having you follow a blog during the semester is intended to give you an idea of how others write about photographs - a blog that just sticks up pictures without comment isn't quite what I have in mind. Here are some that I like to give you some places to start - you are welcome to follow one of these if it interests you.
