Photographers Go Hyperlocal
Posted By Andrea Weckerle On January 22, 2007 @ 6:29 am In Art of Photography | No Comments
Placeblogger.org [2] is a new site that aggregates local blogs, both in the United States and worldwide. It’s part of a relatively new trend focusing on hyperlocal information and community-building. The photographic equivalent of Placeblogger might be Photobloggers.org, [3] which is part of Photoblogs.org. [4]
While the ultimate goal of Photobloggers.org is to create a global RSS feed of all the local photoblogger sites, it currently lists the local sites individually on its home page.
The existing Photobloggers cities, in alphabetical order, are:
Barcelona, Spain; [5]
Budapest, Hungary; [6]
Chicago, U.S.; [7]
Houston, U.S.; [9]
London, U.K.; [10]
Los Angeles, U.S. (unclear whether it’s still being updated); [11]
New York City, U.S; [12]
Paris, France; [13]
San Francisco, U.S; [14]
St. Louis, U.S. (site not presently up); [15]
Toronto, Canada; [16]
Vancouver, Canada. [17]
The Photoblogs.org [18]wiki also lists cities where local photographers have indicated they’d like to create a group. U.S. cities on this list include Boston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, D.C., Miami, San Diego and Seattle.
Non-U.S. cities include Bandung, Indonesia; Bordeaux, France; Brisbane, Australia; Calgary, Canada; Edinburgh, Scotland; Geneva, Switzerland; Glasgow, Scotland; Harderwijk, The Netherlands; Hyderabad, India; Jakarta, Indonesia; Kathmandu, Nepal; Kyiv, Ukraine; Mallorca; Melbourne, Australia; Mexico City, Mexico; Montreal, Canada; Mumbai, India; Munich, Germany; Nagoya, Japan; Oxford, England; Rennes, France; Perth, Australia; Singapore; Stockholm, Sweden; Sydney, Australia; Tehran, Iran; Utrecht, the Netherlands; Vienna, Austria; Seoul, Korea; and Tirol, Austria.
