Last week I posted a column on local photographers that I originally wrote for Apartment 613.  Since then, I  have added numerous other photo-blogs to the blogroll.

GraphicPathic contains impressive shots of a wide range of subjects, from nature and intriguing urban landscapes, to animals and flowers.  Ottawa Velo Vogue focuses on cycling and fashion, while Musician on Skis, which I mentioned in a previous post, chronicles outdoor life especially in Gatineau Park.

Jeff, who self-describes as a pho­tog­ra­pher, part writer, part filmmaker but all lover, displays his work on his photo-blog equivocality.  One site that I was impressed with is First Gate Dreamer, while Smallaroid provides great images taken from an iPod camera.  For his part, Garry Black's photo-blog shines a lens on travel, landscapes and people,

Charles Earl has some beautiful photographs on his personal site, as well as operating the following photo-blogs: through the broken viewfinder which contains a photo a day; studio infrared that showcases infrared photographs; time zero that has Polaroid shots; and Toy Cameras that has playful, if not slightly surreal, photos.  Other photo-blogs include Wakefield Noir, Relishing and Refract.

If you are looking for a photographer for weddings, children or lifestyle, there is Iaroslava Petrenko who has a blogspot site in addition to a professional web site.  Another local photographer is John W. MacDonald who shots events, portraits and weddings.  Justin Van Leeuwen, meanwhile, works in the areas of commercial, corporate and Fundraising Events, family, interiors and portraits.
