Totally Awesome Link Roundup
Welcome to My GPS Camera Phone! Make sure you don't miss out - subscribe to the RSS feed. After you've left six comments, nofollow tags are lifted, giving you some awesome some link love. Thanks for visiting!
In the last few months, especially the last few weeks, I’ve found some new sites and re-discovered some old ones. Some deserve props because they rock, others because they rock harder. Either way, it’s time for some well-deserved (and long overdue) link love.
- Martin Gommel’s 10 Cameraphone Photographs that Rock by Martin of KWERFELDEIN via Darren Rowse’s Digital Photography School. I’ve been seeing more articles about camera phone photography in recent months, so I thought this was a nice find.
- Four Concert Photography Tips from Luis at LightChasers Photography. This is neat because I wrote a similar article after attending a Rush concert in Jacksonville. Good tips, especially if you can incorporate the girlfriend factor.
- Chica at Photo Projectz almost won it all in the Iron Chef Photography project put on by Neil Creek. Her entry included a marble which prompted a funny response from one of the judges: “What’s up with the marble?” If you know Chica, you know she’s into marbles.
- I found a relatively new Digg-like site for photography called PhotographyVoter. It’s a great repository of photo-related stuff, where these articles stood out for me:
- I noticed that Shawn Duffy of SDuffyPhotography also joined and submitted a story about shooting auroras posted over at ADIDAP (All Day I Dream About Photography), who I first discovered via Entrecard. The tips are great, but even if you don’t get to see auroras, the images are astounding and definitely worth the visit.
- Susheel at Beyond Phototips wrote an awesome article about getting people to look through the lens instead of looking at the lens. An excellent tip that I will be using in the future.
- Haje Jan Kamps at Photocritic lays out some detailed tips for making your photography site more search engine friendly. Personally, I’d love to do this, but alas, I am too tired at the end of the workday at my real job to make this happen.
I tried submitting Gale Rainwater’s nature photography gallery (one of my favorites), but it hasn’t gotten anywhere yet. Maybe it’s because I’m a noob over there. Heck, I’m a noob over here, too. All noobishness aside, Gale’s work is incredibly inspirational.
- Dan at dcrBlogs is back to posting cute photos of his Chihuahua, which reminds me of how cute mine used to be. OK, she still is, but her breath smells terrible.
- Diane shows off some more beach photos at Much of a Muchness, making me want to pack up and travel to the east coast for a beach day. Unfortunately, I don’t have a bazillion dollars to pay for the fuel needed to get there, something that DeboHobo has recently reminded me of.
- SoapboxMom has been posting some amazing photos, but she isn’t the photographer. Her tween daughter has got the eye for good composition and I’m going to keep my eyes open for more shots from her. Kids rule.
- One more mention to my friend of 32 years, Phred, who correctly named the song I was referring to in the post about shooting camera phone photos at a live concert. He doesn’t do photos, but he helped set up an independent radio station here in Gainesville, which is no small task. He says the shows will eventually be posted online as podcasts, but there’s no set date as to when this will happen.
There’s tons more, but I didn’t want to overburden you. Take small bites because this is some good stuff and may take some time to digest properly.
Finally, a huge thank you to those who stopped by and commented on my way-too-late Wordless Wednesday entry this week: Di Vixen dcr Marsha
Thanks for reading.

soapbox moms last blog post..Any Idea What This Is All About?
No problem! She really does have some innate abilities.
I really like soapbox mom, but I’m glad you posted this. I spent a good deal of time yesterday trying to find some good sites that I could send my photographers (novice some/pro’s other. A real mish mash) to show them how to take good shots.
I’ll be checking out the links of love :)
Sister Sassys last blog post..Mean Kids Suck
That’s the beauty of the web - most sites I visit range from mega-pro to extreme novice. The best part is that all of them are willing to help out, regardless of your ability.
oh, i just realized my gravitar isn’t working. But now it is :)
I took my grav pic with a camera phone ;)
That’s a cool gravatar! What effect did you use? Looks kind of like a negative.
Thanks for the linkage, man. BTW, I do photos…just not terribly well. :-p
Maybe so, but you gots mad music skillz.
Thanks for the mention, especially in such exalted company! I plan on checking all of the others out :)

Thanks for the link! Soon, the Chihuahuas will have their own blog. Well, they do now, but it’s not on WordPress yet.

Isn’t there a Friendster for pets or something? I can’t remember the name of it.
Thanks for the awesome set of links!
Earls last blog post..Spring Trees
Thanks for the awesome comment! :)
Thanks for the link, Pete - I’m glad you enjoyed the article (and the comments).
It’s also great that you’ve finally found out about PV. Now if only we can get it added to the Sociable plugin that we’re using…
Maybe it’s time for a note to Joost, the plugin author. He seems to stay on top of it pretty well.
