    1. My Modern Metropolis

They conduct in-depth interviews with new and established artists and find the stories going on behind-the-scenes. It’s a great place to start if you’re looking to develop your creative side.

    2. FFFFOUND!

     

    Ask any modern-day artist or designer which website they visit for creative inspiration and most likely he or she will say FFFFOUND! It’s an image bookmarking site that’s invitation only, meaning you can’t just register yourself, you have to be personally invited to start posting. Though this may seem exclusive, it actually helps to keep the integrity of the site high, making sure there are no unsolicited spammers. Everyone is free to browse the site.

    3. Smashing Magazine

     

    If you’re an aspiring or professional web designer and developer, you’ll thoroughly enjoy the creative content on Smashing Magazine.

They also have some great articles like Take The Initiative and Create Your Own Projects or Breaking Down Doors: Promoting Yourself To Dream Clients.

The site keeps up-to-date on all the latest cameras and accessories as well as the latest trends and developments happening in the digital photography world.

    5. SwissMiss

     

    Tina Roth Eisenberg is the Swiss designer who runs SwissMiss. Tina’s minimalist aesthetic comes through not only in the way she designs and presents her website but in the sites and products she chooses to highlight. Tina puts on events called Creative Mornings in New York, LA and other major cities around the world where she asks a leader in their field to share their story. These monthly morning gathering of creative types starts with a 20 minute lecture and is followed by a 20 minute group discussion. A great event to go to get your creative juices flowing.

        Oh Joanna I saw Maddie too…somewhere…just standing there. That’s prttey much all she has to do is stand there! Even if she’s standing with all fours flat on the ground – all she has to do is look at the camera and I just crack up!Can’t decide if she loves it or hates it.She’s kind of the Napoleon Dynomite of our four legged friends.I hope she knows she’s famous. I think she does.Happy weekend!xo Lisa

        I watched this porargm, too. It was really great he must have strong legs and good cardio to keep that schedule up. Plus, his images are over the top good. There is an official White House page on Flickr, too. Good stuff PS: enjoyed browsing your site lots of nice work by YOU, too!

      Got any cool sites for photographers? Or any sites a photographer SHOULD be a member of? My gf is a photographer and I would love to find a social site (besides facebook and twitter) to get her more involved in the scene (no pun intended).

      I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours 302 Found. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
