Monday blog list...here's looking at you.. again

The amount of information out there is truly astounding, and not only that, but its also free.Talented photographers, some experts in their fields, some only starting out, others like myself, hungry to shoot and develop their own style. They all have one thing in common; they blog. And I like reading them. And learning from them.
