Welcome to the “20 Awesome Photography Blogs” project and our latest installment featuring the great city of Chicago. When I first started this project, my initial photoblog concern was whether or not I would be able to find enough to round out the “20″. But actually I have encountered just the opposite dilemma of having too many a photo blog to choose from. A good problem to have!
Today’s photo blog selections feature a beautiful collection of street photography (my favorite), architectural, wildlife, and few others which I’m not quite sure what category they would fall into. I’ve always wanted to travel to Chicago, and this installment only adds more fuel to my fire to get there. As always, I acknowledge many great photoblog works were not included; however, kindly leave your favorites in the comments. Thank you and enjoy!

Araceli – Thanks for the kind words. Really like your site’s layout, images and unique font usage.
Rick, thanks so much for the mention. It is quite the honor and nice to be acknowledged. I keep thinking of giving up on my aminus3 photoblog (I also blog at blogger) because I have trouble getting my photos downloaded with their actual sharpness. You have given me heart to continue.
Thanks again.

The honor is all mine. Thanks for sharing your photos with the world. On your comment about hosting, may I recommend using WordPress and your own domain name. Godaddy makes the process very easy. No sales pitch here, but the installation to your hosted account is pain-free. If you have further questions, shoot me an email and I’ll be glad to share my process. Keep shooting!
Rick, thank you for the inclusion on your list, am so honored and feel very encouraged by it. I love street and urban photography–its the best. Good luck with this project, shall be checking back in regularly now…
b.c – nice images. like that your blog is active and full of variety. keep up the good work!
Hi Rick, Just thought I’d add to your list my photo blog http://www.AssignmentChicago.com. I’m a photojournalist and started it last year 2009, so it was out after your list was published. You may enjoy a recent post in which I wrote 100 photo tips from my first 100 posts.
