This is a great idea. I found Pro Photographers Network on what is fast becoming a favorite new blog, Resolve.

Interview with Sol Neelman
August 10th, 2009 by Steven St John
There is a good read over at Resolve, the Livebooks blog right now, important thoughts about life as a freelance photographer.
“I think one mistake a lot of newspaper photographers make is that they’re still trying to work for editorial clients. It’s very rewarding, but when The New York Times is paying $200 day rates, you can’t make a living off that. So I think the more important avenues are commercial, advertising and corporate clients.

Matt Slaby’s Outtakes
August 6th, 2009 by Steven St John
Matt Slaby is a Denver based freelance photographer. If you don’t read his blog, you should. The depth of thought in his writing nearly matches that of his photography.
Also his work was featured on the NPR’s The Picture Show earlier this week.
Rabbits
August 4th, 2009 by Steven St John
One of my favorite photographers, Ramin Rahimian, recently shot an essay on a sustainable ecovillage called Dancing Rabbit in northeastern Missouri. “The community consists of a little bit more than 50 visitors (who stay for 3 weeks), residents (on their way to membership), and full time members. They grow a lot of their own food. They build their own houses from renewable and reclaimed building materials. They are fully off the grid: using only solar and wind power. It is a very tight-knit community of people just trying to build a true community that is ecologically and socially responsible and conscientious.”
