I found this article at Cameraporn.
I’m pretty much addicted to photography. Methods, gear, news, you name it. It really is kinda scary. To keep my addiction in check when I’m not shooting or shopping, I need a steady flow of photo content to keep the shakes and withdrawl symptoms from popping up so I put together a list of what i consider to be some of the best photo-related content out there. Read on for more photo link porn than you can shake a stick at including 25 blogs, 20 AMAZING photographers, and some other fun stuff that will make those days you feel stuck at your desk wishing you were shooting go a bit smoother… (continued)
It gathers together some amazing links that I probably will mine for future inspiration and photography tips. But if you want to read them in advance, be my guest.
One of the primary types of photography I suspect I’ll get back is what is known as street photography.
According to Wikipedia:
Street photography is a type of documentary photography that features subjects in candid situations within public places such as streets, parks, beaches, malls, political conventions, and other settings.
That precisely describes the type of “slice of life” imagery that I hope the cameras will capture. Documentary photography at the micro level.
The rest of the Wikipedia article is interesting as well. It lists well-known photographers who used this technique. Whether it’s better to have the camera hidden or visible and the all-important “how to overcome shyness.”
For today’s inspiration, I thought I’d link to a site that is completely filled with photos that you aren’t supposed to take: photos at concerts, photos of military installations, photos inside condemned buildings.
The site is Strictly No Photography.
Now we’re not recommending that you violate laws or put your life in danger to get a great photo, but looking through these galleries I was struck by how great some of the shots were and how arbitrary the rules that made them technically illegal seemed.
At any rate, it’s an interesting gallery and a great way to get your creative juices flowing.
