Focus on Photographers
This is a list of other photographers’ websites and blogs I have come across and found interesting, impressive or informative for me, including some of my (and probably most other photographers’) favorites. Maybe you’ll find them interesting, impressive or informative, too.
(In no particular order, except the first one:)

- Ansel Adams Yes, this is a U.S. government website! In 1941 the National Park Service commissioned Ansel Adams to create a photo mural for the Department of the Interior Building in Washington, DC.
