Photography Sites - What do you normally read?

I thought it would be interesting to share photo sites that everybody normally reads, both technical and artists ...

Some of what I check often are (not sure if it's ok to post links so I'll just put down names --- easily googleable).

Tech and Commentary

Ken Rockwell
Thom Hogan (probably my favorite)
Steve Huff (sometimes)
Luminous Landscape

Artists (just some random stuff that comes to mind as I enjoy pretty much anything)

Bruce Percy
Scotty Graham
Peter Lik (he has a gallery close to my house and it never fails to wow me).
Pete Turner
Clinton Smith

I regularly read Sony SLR forum at forums.dpreview.com. I used to read pentaxforums when I was still shooting film but since switching to a Sony A33 I have not touched film.

This is a good thread - it's helpful to hear about some of the sites people find useful.

I like Ken Rockwell's site, even recognizing that some of what he says seems kind of exaggerated to make a point.

Odd you guys should mention this..

A new Friendly Photographers Forum is just starting up ..

http://APhotoForum.com

Stop in and check it out.. Be one of the first in on the ground floor to build this small Photographers Community into a great place for Photographers to hang out; show their images, and discuss their views on photography in general.. One where attitudes and malcontents will be shown the door - just like TRF

Just don't forget that TRF is your forum Watch Home.. ;)
