• Philip Greenspun’s photo.net is an old, old hangout for me. I’m a lurker there, not being really competent enough to post anything cogent. However, I learned a lot (and continue to learn) by reading the articles posted there and examining images shared by some very talented people.

• Mr. T does WoW.

• Understanding MTF is a great article on choosing glass.

• Spotcrime is an interactive website of criminal activity.
