I especially enjoy jpgmag. I also have an individual photoblog, though. The photoblog lets photographers have total control over their content and allows them to present a unique, less homogenized, experience to visitors. There's no reason photoblogs and flickr can't coexist. Flickr users can find my photos on flickr, and photoblog aficionados and others searching google can find my photoblog. For what its worth, my photoblog gets more traffic than my flickr photos. I post my photos on flickr and jpgmag, and there’s no denying the popularity. I especially enjoy jpgmag.

Unfortunately, I believe that photoblogs are SO over with. That's the real problem. Their downfall was inevitable, really. It was two-fold: individual blogs have never had a consistent mechanism for keeping their work in front of viewers and, when you do find someone worth following, it takes too long to follow them without a lot of effort and time unless you view via feeds, which isn't as satisfying an experience as visiting the blog directly. The web has simply moved on. There has also been the explosion of social sites which have diverted the "conversation" of media to a more focused audience. For photographers, flickr is, (and has been for a long time) the place to be if you want to get your images in front of "real" eyeballs in an organized and sustaining way. Personally, I'm sorry I dragged my feet for so long in posting there, and (essentially) wasting time with photoblogging. Best to you always, Bob Eddings Hi Brett,
