Visit the Top Photo Blogs with Wireless Internet Service

As wireless Internet service has impacted every medium of expression, photography has been no exception.. An interesting use of the Internet with regard to photography has been "photoblogging," or the creation of blogs that consist more or less entirely of photos, and maybe with some commentary on them. In this way, photographers or archivists can create instant "coffee table" books, and update them all the time. Recently, LIFE magazine, famous for its photography, announced its "top 20" photo blogs, and visiting a few of them can give you a sense of what this phenomenon is all about.

One of LIFE's top photo blogs is BAGNews Notes, which looks for the deeper meaning in news photographs. For example, it has written fairly extensively on the many photos over the years of politicians shot from below in domed buildings to make it appear that they have halos over their heads, as well as the various iconic photos of the last few years, especially in regard to Hurricane Katrina and other world events. The blog is written by a clinical psychologist who takes great care to link a scientific understanding of how we perceive things to the way this perception is manipulated by clever photography and Photoshop.

National Public Radio, which you can listen to with wireless Internet streaming radio, also runs a fairly well-known blog called "The Picture Show." Like BAGNews Notes, "The Picture Show" tries to look at the deeper meaning behind various arresting images, although NPR's blog proceeds from a journalistic or historical perspective rather than a psychological one. However, the resources of NPR allow it to uncover and publish photos that are difficult to find in other places, helping NPR to make a truly special contribution to the photoblogging community. The New York Times's "Lens" blog also serves a similar function.

Specialist photography is another popular topic for photoblogging. For example, the "Sartorialist" photoblog takes advantage of portable cameras and sometimes even wireless Internet camera technology to share the everyday fashion found on the streets of New York City with the world at large. In a general sense, fashion and food serve as popular subjects for photo blogs, with food in particular being popular due to the intersection of photography culture with "foodie" culture as food fans struggle to record every great meal they eat.

Blogs about photography and the industry occupied by artists who choose to work in this medium is also a popular topic for photoblogging. "American Suburb X" and "500 Photographers" both focus on the people that work in the field and the realities of being one of these people. Many photo blogs are also just focused on different techniques employed by photographers, which makes it easy and quick to use Internet service to find out whether a new technique is worth trying for one's very own photo blog.

Clear internet in New York City, as well as affordable prices for places elsewhere in the country, can help you access the country's best photo blogs and learn more about this artistic medium in the process.
