A Reykjavik Diary
– Photos by Pascal Fellonneau

B:

2011 was a rough year for photoblogs with many falling by the wayside. A few were killed instantly in one post through the heart. Most passed away quietly in their sleep. Some were abandoned in a state of suspended animation, and now haunt the blogosphere as the living dead. And a few rose like Lazarus from the beyond.

Let’s take a moment now to remember those who fell in 2011.

LPV Magazine

There are plenty of destinations to find quality work these days but I find there are very few that have a distinct point of view, and finding quality writing about photography is still a challenge. Far too many new blogs and magazines simply want to replicate what’s been done already (me too!) or have misguided editorial missions

The Photo Society

We are a group of contributing photographers for National Geographic Magazine, committed to telling the world’s stories through pictures.

Reframing Mexico:

The drug war in Mexico captures attention, but there is a vibrant culture beyond the headlines. “Reframing Mexico” explores under-reported stories of challenges and successes in Mexico City. For just eight days in one of the world’s largest cities, students faced language, access, culture, transportation, and interpersonal challenges working extremely long hours in often very difficult conditions. The 12 stories they produced are exceptional and often beautiful. A single mother raising her children in one of Mexico’s largest garbage dumps, a middle age carpenter whose illegal immigration to the U.S. ended when the American dream proved elusive, and a young mother struggling to raise her baby in prison are just a few examples. The stories show a side of Mexico City not often portrayed in the media.

PDN:

Photographers have used micro-blogging site Tumblr as a tool to share their work with audiences online, many of them building followings that number in the thousands and even tens of thousands.

But photographers also use the site to follow other shooters, keeping up with what their peers are doing and passing along work they like or admire
