Linked: “Rant: I love photography”
Allen Murabayashi wrote Rant: I love photography. Allen is CEO and Co-founder of PhotoShelter, originally wrote this on the PhotoShelter blog, and got republished on Wired “rawfile”.
His only reason to write this:
There is a percentage of photographers who hate photography.
And he give special mention to Boston Globe’s Big Picture and later the Atlantic’s In Focus, my favorite photo blogs.
In Focus: All-Request
The regular In-Focus from the Atlantic has a crowd-source topic this time called All Request. You ask it via twitter, you get it, if the editor finds it. He has access to a powerful database of images from press agencies ; and as a last resort, uses Flickr.
This regular In Focus has joined The Big Picture in my list of feeds a while ago.

![[Photo]](/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/04438r-300x256.jpg "General view of the [Nikolaevskii] cathedral from southwest. Mozhaisk")
This time it is the Big Picture from the Boston Globe to present an exhibit about Russia in Color, with these autochromes from the Prokudin-Gorskii collection at the Library of Congress (USA).
General view of the [Nikolaevskii] cathedral from southwest. Mozhaisk – Prokudin-Gorskiï, Sergeï Mikhaïlovich, 1863-1944, photographer – From Library of Congress
Also I recommend the Big Picture as a regular “reading” for the pictures.
Color from 1906
Dr. Michael R. Shaughnessy put up a gallery of scanned true color images from 1906 with geolocalisation added. This is pretty amazing to see various european locations in color.

America in Color 1939-1943
The Denver Post Photo Blogs has an exhibit called “Captured: America in Color 1939-1943”.
Some stunning images taken between 1939 and 1943 depicting America, in Color. When I think about that period, I most of the time imaging black & white, because it was the predominant form of photography at the time. But color film, was already available, even to the general public.
That’s the kind of photography I love, depicting people, in everyday situations, to form our memories (of the past).
