Thread: Photography websites worth your time

Be warned some scenes are gruesome and others horrific, but well worth the overall feeling and appreciation you walk away with.

OK, it's not a website, but......hey, maybe there are portions available for viewing online if that validates this entry. I bought the DVD and watch it every now and again for inspiration.

The Luddite - aka Stills

Hey, thanks so much Mark! Here is one place they are available for sale - both this one and other DVDs:artfilm.ch - War Photographer - Christian Frei - Film auf DVD and Amazon has it and others, as well:Amazon.com: War Photographer: James Nachtwey, Christiane Amanpour, Hans-Hermann Klare, Christiane Breustedt, Des Wright (II), Denis O'Neill, Christian Frei: Movies & TV

The one you mentioned is available on Netflix, for those who have that available.

Vince, I remember Ashwin Rao's articles on Steve Huff's site...that was when I was being seduced by the Leica X1 and I enjoyed both his writing style and his photographs.

Thanks to Bill's thread here:America WWII on the Home Front. and its link to WW II photos in color of the war efforts in the USA, I found my way to The Library of Congress's Flickrstream: Flickr: The Library of Congress' Photostream What a surprise to find that they had a presence on Flickr! I've just begun to read their "profile" which is also quite interesting: Flickr: The Library of Congress

Enjoy yourselves!!

Bringing this oldie but goodie thread back up for air... I know I've already posted about this photography site but it's too good to not mention again: Lens Blog on the NY Times New York Times Photojournalism - Photography, Video and Visual Journalism Archives - Lens Blog - NYTimes.com daily updates on photography, video and visual journalism. It certainly is a dose of reality mixed in with beauty, death, and all other parts of life around our globe. I have it as a bookmark on my toolbar. Hope you enjoy your time looking if you aren't already a regular.
