Every once in a while, I find myself on Rob Skeoch’s site, The Picture Desk.

I enjoy this blog for a few reasons. For one, Rob is into film and digital photography and is a working pro. For another, he has his own company selling photography equipment – rangefinder cameras and lenses, large format cameras (Toyo and Canham) and lenses and manual focus lenses for DSLRs, such as Zeiss lenses for Canon EOS bodies and Zeiss lenses for Nikon bodies

Now, I’m not so much into sports photography, and he shoots a lot of it. What I like, though, is that he is not afraid to buck the trends.

When everyone else is only shooting a Nikon or Canon DSLR, he’s out there with a Sony A500, Sony A550, or Sony A850. Sometimes, he shoots a Leica or has even borrowed a friend’s Nikon D700 to try it out with one of the manual Zeiss lenses he sells.

If you’re into Holga, lomo, toy cameras, or if you’re just curious about what that movement is all about, you owe it to yourself to check out Holgablog

I’m really enjoying this site. From the menu, it has

* News
* Reviews
* Tutorials
* Photography
* Processes/Editing
* Competitions
* Editorials
* Monthly Best
* POTM (Photographer of the Month)

Excellent material.

Be sure to check out the Holga Manual they have posted in cooperation with the good people at Freestyle. It shows everything from loading film, using it and making multiple exposures to modifying Holgas and finding light leaks. The Holga comparison chart alone is worth the download. Any reader of this blog knows I like to find manuals.

Wait, this isn’t just that cameraless kind of camera obscura.

Camera Obscura is a wonderful site full of fine art photography and stories behind the photographs. The tag line says that it’s a blog dedicated to photography and contemporary art.

This is one of my new favorite sites on the web. I don’t know why it took me so long to find. It has obviously been around quite a while
