Fred Larson does a daily Mystical Photography blog for SF Gate which features photographs of Bay Area subjects. (For obvious reasons, I understand the effort it must take for him to come up with a photo of these subjects every day of the year… ;-) Sometimes Fred comes up with a shot that is really unique, and this photograph of an egret is certainly in that category.

(His blog has a RSS feed.)

… and succeeding. :-)

Photographer Jim M. Goldstein has posted a piece at his blog about his visit to Caribou Pass Valley in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. While I’ve been to Alaska a couple of times (for a total of about a month) I’ve never been that far north, and on my visits I was not equipped to do serious photography.

(About the “that far north” observation… On my most recent Alaska trip I rode my bike – along with a group of students – 1100 miles from Skagway through the Yukon to Fairbanks and then to Anchorage. Really.)

While I have my preferences when it comes to subjects, I tend too shoot quite a variety of them – landscapes, urban, night, some sports, the occasional informal portrait, and more. On the other hand, some photographers focus almost exclusively on mastering a single subject. Poesie is one such photographer – her work features lovely images of flowers, a subject that she has mastered. Check out her Flickr Gallery where you’ll find an amazing and beautiful collection of photographs.
