Just like any tool, blogging, done right, can be a great resource - has been for me. And yeah, the search can be daunting. Bravo!

There must be some kind of mistake... or should I be looking for another photographer named Singer with a blog? (more than likely) I've always thought there were a secret forums somewhere on the web, where PEs, ADs, and ABs all chatted and shared information (I can just imagine the "weekly lame promo" contest they had all while laughing at the photographers sending promo after promo after promo). Forums not unlike the forums that photographers use (APAnet, ASMP, EP, etc, etc). I've searched but was never able to find such forums. Blogs are great too, athough for the most part they tend to be a bit one sided since the owner of the blog can freely delete comments they don't like and they are the originator of the subject at hand. Forums tend to have more back and forth with less moderation as long as you stay on topic. I for one welcome more PE blogs, AD blogs, AB blogs... anybody that can give me insight to what it takes to get your attention, what you are looking for, and where I place the brown envelope full of cash to get in the door.

Some days it’s fun and other days it’s a drag. Sometimes I wish the barriers weren’t so damn high or distant. But it is what it is and I keep on keepin’ on. One of the best things about this whole photography blogs thing has been the amount of genuine information and experiences being shared. As an up-and-coming/emerging photographer I’ve gleaned as much quality and valuable info about being a working photographer from the blogs of Hetherington, Loomis, Wright, Patterson, Broening, Soth, Jarvis, Singer, Smith, and all the others out there as I have from my days as an assistant. Add blogs with the same genuine, quality, and valuable info from photo editors and, hell, even art directors and media buyers—the very people we’re all going to (or trying to go to) for work—and blogs become one of the best resources my North Carolina ass could ask for. Yeah, it sucks and yet it’s also good to know that it’s so incestuous and that former first assistants to the big names make bigger impacts with some editors. At least it’ll give me a better idea of what I’m up against as I try to scale that giant barrier. I’m one of those photographers who spends “a great deal of time trying to reach” photo editors.
