A special thanks goes out to the many people that follow this blog via Twitter..I really enjoy the messages and emails from photographer wanting to be listed on our site…keep ‘em coming! I am working on a couple of new tools for this photo blog which I hope allow us to grow our wonderful community…but more to come on that…Here are several interesting photoblogs which entered our message box overnight.

Brian Kaldorf – “…a pittsburgh based photographer specializing in editorial and commercial portraiture and still life.  His images rely on a strong foundation of color and technology to achieve a hyper realistic look in his photographs.  Whether it’s a band’s cover photo, a fashion spread, or an illustrative concept, Brian Kaldorf’s photographic abilities can take your project to the next level.”

PixelShots -“…the cutest photoblog with photos of nature, insects, flowers, waterfalls, fishes, tourist destinations, palaces, archeological monuments, crocodile parks, macro and closeup photos, amateur galleries, mobile phone photography, and still adding…”

C.H. Paquette Photography – “…a collection of photography news and exhibit listings, random essays on visual culture, as well as a showcase of established and emerging photographers”

Laurent Batailley - “…blog is running since January 2006, and the present version is the third one.As a “culturally” graphic oriented guy (started graphic compo on Amstrad CPC!) my main interest is more the final picture than photo in general. So, this blog is the place where I’m posting my current explorations and experimentations in image production.

Even if my photos remain my favorite raw material (as it’s really easier and faster than drawing) this blog is clearly “Photoshop” post processing oriented. The previous version of this blog was already offering before and after. Now what’s up? Here’s a comprehensive description: Regular posts of original photography, visually enhanced and retouched using Adobe Photoshop. Most of time Photos, Images, Pictures, are posted with a before (raw picture) and after (Photoshopped) view.

Also you can enjoy up to 4 steps post-processing views and a FREE downloadable PSD file (Adobe Photoshop CS4) to learn/study/understand all photoshop technics used for photo post-production, restauration and enhancement.”

On a slightly different note, a special thank you goes out to Linda in Seattle,WA for sending in a birthday gift…Annie Leibovitz at Work…love it!
