My good friends at PhotoShelter have created a super-slick-gotta-have-plugin-for-WordPress-blogs which allows you to post photos to your WordPress blog directly from your PhotoShelter account. Talk about simplifying your workflow!

Simply Select an image from a gallery and select “Insert Image.”

and then in the words of one of the greatest poets of our generation: “BAM!”

Alison McCreery’s POP Photography Blog features a great piece on the role great story-telling photography may play in the Future of Publishing “Can Architecture Photography Save Publishing?” in this wonderful interview of Mark magazine’s award-winning graphic designer Thomas Miller and San Francisco architecture and interior photographer Joern Blohm.

It get’s me thinking: Can Each Photograph Save 1000 Words?

Grover Sanschagrin of PhotoShelter put together this great article about Professional Photographers who also shoot with Point-and-Shoot cameras.

It’s great to see that so many of my friends also carry a small camera with them everywhere they go. Afterall, the best camera you can own is the one you’ve got with you…

BIG THANKS to Pieter Wisse for featuring me as today’s photographer on his 500 Photographers blog. Peter is profiling five active photographers a week for 100 weeks. It’s a very clever way of compiling the work of 500 photographers and shucks, I’m very honored to be Photographer #041…

500 Photographers Blog Brian Smith #041

500 Photographers has spotlighted the work of a number of familiar names like Todd Hido, Dave Hill, Marc Hom, Nadav Kander, Benjamin Lowy, David Maisel and Michael Wolf, but it’s even more fun to “discover” the work of someone you might not have been familiar with.

Pieter Wisse is a photographer based in Rotterdam. He’s owner of Four Eyes Photography & Art, a gallery and bookstore that publishes Four Eyes Photography Magazine and recently published his book ‘I believe in 88′. When Pieter is finished, 500 Photographers will be an amazing archive of photographers of the 21st century. Thanks for making me a part!

Lou Lesko of BlinkBid pimped me out today on the Livebooks blog about the future of editorial photography. I don’t necessarily share Lou’s views about encouraging blogs to use of your photos for free, unless, of course, the blogs are about with one of my two favorite subjects: photography and me...

Yet I certainly agree that blogs are a great way to get your name out there. Thanks for the blog love, dude!
