iPhone photography blogs - the best of the rest

Glyn Evans Whilst preparing this blog, I spent some time Google'ing, looking for other iPhone photography related websites. iPhone photography sites seem to be few and far between, however the good news is that what sites are there seem extremely good (and I hope you think this blog fits in to this category)
The original iPhone photographer, and the best site to date for inspiration is Greg Schmigel's Just What I See. Greg's work shows just what can be done with the iPhone, all-be-it edited outside of the iPhone. Greg's site does have a blog page, although sadly this does not seem to have been updates lately, but if you find his work interesting then you may want to check out the following Greg Schmigel Interview, and iPhone photography - in the hands of an artist, as they make an interesting read.
In addition to Greg's site, there is iPhontography, which is a blog similar to this one, but sadly after only a short time is up for sale, and I guess if no one buys the site it will eventually fade away, which is a real shame as the articles to date have been very good.
Whilst writing this post I stumbled across the following new website, iPhography, which is very much like this site, offering news and reviews for the iPhone Photographer. The only thing I do not like about this site, is that it has been operating for just a few weeks and already it is asking for donations and advertisers, which kind of goes against what blog sites are all about. Don't get me wrong, advertising is a good thing when your site is established and helps pay the bills, but launching a new website and offering advertising space from the off could be counter productive and send out the wrong message.
If you are reading this article and there are any apps that you would like me to review, or if you are an app developer and would like me to review your app, or if I have missed any other good iPhone photography websites then please let me know.

Hi, Love the site & thanks for the mention.
My intention with iPhography.com was to share my passion & my wish is to share it full time. Yes I am hoping to attract advertising straight away for a few reasons.
1. As mentioned most blogs rarely update as it's their hobby & I wish to make mine a full time passion.
2. Advertising is not just about making money but also about helping readers to find things they may be interested in. I've already found several cool things just from the google ads on my site that I didn't know existed before.
3. I intend to add lots of interactive features that will require a financial commitment to support.
4. I would like to site to be taken as a serious venture that intends to stay around. Imagine how long a magazine or newspaper would last if they had no advertising right from the launch day
Goodluck & thanks for helping people to enjoy their passion for iPhone Photography. I look forward to reading your blog

Thanks for the feedback. I know what you mean about running costs and provided added value features, as I have chosen a paid for blogging service, so from the off I have had to invest my own money in this hobby/project, which does not come cheap.
In support of your site, I have added you to my links.
