One of my favorite activities when I get some spare time is visiting other photographers sites from around the world. It's amazing what technology allows us to do these days. I store some of my personal work on Flickr and as a result I've joined several groups and browse other photographers work from time to time and believe me, there are some amazing artists and photographers out there! The same holds true for other photo hosting sites as well but for now here are a few on my short list of community based sites, check them out!!:

With Flickr you can join and add contacts. Contacts allow you to follow your favorite photographers.

500px has undergone several changes the last few months and they're setting up areas that are geared for day to day shooting and not just high level portfolio storage. It's a great site with some out of this world photography. I particularly enjoy street photography, check out http://500px.com/85mm Thomas Leuthard does wonderful work and even has a couple free eBooks for those interested.

Photoblogs is an excellent place to find new friends to follow. Very interesting!

And of course there is always Google+. Picasa is the storage solution for Google+ (Facebook alternative). Google+ has really taken off with photographers. You can create photo circles that house your favorite photographers and just have those people show up in your feed. I like Google plus but you do need an account to get in and start viewing. Make sure you look me up!

There are MANY more sites but these are the few I visit on a regular basis. If you have a favorite leave me a comment so we can all visit!

Happy Shooting!
