FILE Magazine
At FILE magazine, they publish images that treat subjects in unexpected ways. "Odd angles, unconventional observations" fill the galleries and I must say, some of it is awesome. Be sure to check out local Philadelphian Jason Santa Maria's "Cornell House" and Sixteen9 by Keith Kin Yan
Thoughts on How to Prove Photography to a Blind Man.

Open Source Photography
Being a software developer and free software (tidbit: free and open source are not the same thing, but this is a photography blog, not a software blog) enthusiast, I can't help but laugh at Open Source Photography. Not because of it's content, or it's intention, but rather because of it's name. Open Source Photography's goal is to empower photographers to use open source tools to do the work they need to do. The project is promising and I look forward to seeing it's content increase, but I wish the name were different. I don't think their intention is to provide images that you are free to modify and or distribute, as is the normal case in open source software, and that makes their name a bit misleading.

Bustyful
This site probably isn't safe for work, and might be considered pornography by some, but to me it's fine art nude photography. Bustyful highlights some of the best fine art shots of woman exposing their breasts.

Shorpy
Photoblogs are usually known to display recent work by a particular photographer. Shorpy, on the other hand, is The 100 Year Old Photoblog and so the work displayed there is much older and from a variety of artists. I find it interesting that the only thing different about portraits then and now is the clothing.

BH Photo Sponsored Events
When BH Photo Video isn't serving up orders, or helping it's customers on 9th Ave, it's sponsoring seminars, and sending emails out to all it's customers regarding them. They aren't just in New York, and there happens to be one in Philadelphia on April 15th, a date I won't actually be in Philadelphia.
This particular seminar,Travel Photography in the Digital World, will "Unravel the mysteries of digital photography with Ralph Lee Hopkins and Bob Krist." Looks interesting to me, and probably would have been helpful for my upcoming trip to Belize from April 1st - 8th. It's always a timing issue.
