The other day someone was asking me about what blogs I read and how I stay current with matters of concern to a commercial photographer. So here’s a screenshot of Google Reader detailing all the blogs I currently subscribe to. I also subscribe to The Guardian’s EyeWitness iPad app, which I must say is rather brilliant. With *real* magazines I also subscribe to the British Journal of Photography and Creative Review and regularly look at a wide cross-section of titles from Vogue and Marie Claire to Rouleur and the Sunday glossies. On top of all that I’m forever looking at how images are used for print, web, billboards, in-store and point-of-sale, record sleeves, music videos, product packaging, etc, etc, etc. The world is an endless stream of inspiration, jump in and swim, but don’t let it be a distraction from you creating your own work, let it be fuel to send you on your own journey.
