I’ve just come across Chase Jarvis’ most recent blog post about the statistics based popularity top list of photography blogs. The list itself might be interesting to some (e.g. Strobist is #2, Chase Jarvis is #8 and Joe McNally is #19), but Chase’s comment on it is extremely important and eye opening.
Most of the listed blogs are techie, kind of geekery – if there is such a word – and how-to blogs writing about gear and techniques. Reading them can easily be addictive and photographers do not grow by them. Chase encourages us reading blogs rather about creativity, vision, mindset and approach.

I tend to agree with him.
