FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SOCIETY OF PHOTOBLOGGERS: Find yourself featured on 50 blogs for a few days.

IMAGINE A DAY WHEN YOU WAKE UP TO FIND THAT POSTS FROM YOUR PHOTOBLOG ARE BEING FED INTO POSTS OF 50 OTHER PHOTOBLOGGERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. Complete with images, tags, and in fact it looks just like your photoblog, and it seems to be everywhere you look. Not only that, but as you continue to add new posts to your photoblog, they are picked up in the single post on all 50 photoblogs.
In short, the idea is for photographers to combine forces to help publicize each other, as well as to form a network of crossing links that will improve your visibility in search engines.
And on top of that, this promotion is free. All you have to do is agree to display another photobloggers posts in a post on your site, 49 times a year. And don’t worry, there’s no work involved for you. The code has already been generated through a feature of Feedburner called BuzzBoost, and you will be told where to copy it and paste it into a new post in your blog.
No, you don’t need to join Feedburner or do anything else. The feed will have already been made, and the technical stuff taken care of for you.
It won’t work on sites hosted by WORDPRESS.COM (don’t confuse this with self-hosted wordpress sites). It will work fine with sites running wordpress such as my own site, www.BeckermanPhoto.com/blog
But if your site looks like YourSiteName.Wordpress.com it won’t work because WordPress.com won’t run javascript which is needed to pull the RSS feed.
That’s it in a nutshell.
What sorts of sites are eligible? Loosely, I would say, Fine Art photoblogs with a large number of “good” images. We aren’t going to include wedding blogs, or product blogs. You may do wedding photography for a living, but if your blog can stand alone as a fine art blog, then you should be good to go.
Here’s a link with more information about the Society of Photobloggers, along with an online application form.
And if you aren’t interested, pass this release around to photobloggers that might be. It is a concept that I haven’t seen used before.
Sincerely,
Dave Beckerman (the guy who came up with the idea and is pushing to make it happen)

New York Street Photography | Matt Weber
There are many great New York street photographers, which include the photographic works 
of Matt Weber. Like most photographers, I am a very “visual” person and why I was drawn to Matt’s images. His photoblog is chock full of images; large images to be more precise…no thumbnails here. The visual aspect of this site is impressive, dominated with strong black and white photos and some color works sprinkled in. If urban photography is your thing, you will love this site.
“Photographing NYC for 25 years in mostly black & white and for six of those years I was driving a New York City taxicab. I never stage photos, so what you see here actually happened.
Urban Photos was my website for the past ten years and it was badly designed. Hopefully the various categories will make surfing this site easy and pleasurable.
I am also a close confidant of the “immortal” Dave Beckerman, owner of the first photography blog in the known universe. (who suggested that I build this site and donated many hours)
My book the Urban Prisoner is still in print and if you want a signed copy please email me at: weber1@nyc.rr.com”
