The Photog Formula

UPDATE: This was a post I wrote for another blog of mine.  I’m in the middle of transforming that blog into something else, so I migrated this post over here.  I’ve since added 10 more photographers to the list.  They are in no particular order, and if you’re not on the list…I’m either not following you, don’t know you exist, or you haven’t twittered lately.  The rest of the post is the original.

I’ve been spending a lot of time on Twitter lately.  Usually I’m just sitting on the couch watching the ball game, or working on my work, and have twitter open in the background.  Once in awhile I’ll pop on over to see what’s going on.

Quite often, I’ll find a great link to another photographer or designer.  I’ll go check out their site, bookmark it, follow the tutorials, or look through their portfolios to get inspiration.

Twitter is an amazing tool to network with like-minded people.  I know, that’s what they said about MySpace too!  But the difference is the lack of spam.  I don’t know how many times I’ve received a friend request on MySpace from a robot!

On Twitter, there’s no room for spam.  You start spamming?  You’re followers leave.  I like that.  People are also very friendly and are more than willing to help out when you have a question.  I’ve had a few questions answered, usually just within minutes, that have helped me with my work.

So here are my Top 10 Photographers to follow on Twitter:

Ok, so that’s a couple more than 10…oh well.  There are so many great people to follow on Twitter, you really can’t narrow it down to 10.  But that’s close.
