Faded and Blurred Website / Blog


While checking my Facebook page tonight I came across the Faded and Blurred website/blog.  Faded and Blurred is a photography site that focues on vision and the image rather than the equipment.  In short it's a site packet full of information including interviews with well-know photograhers, videos, tutorials, a blog, a forum and much more.

In the Photographer Spotlight section there is a great article on Steve McCurry. If you don't recognize his name, you will recognize his photograph from National Geographic of the Afgan Girl.  It's probably one of the best and most well known photographs ever taken.  A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to see a real print of it and it's even better in person than you can image.  One little know fact about Steve McCurry is that when Kodak quit making Kodachrome a couple of year ago, they gave the very last roll made to Steve.
I think this will be one of the few websites and blogs that I visit on a daily basis. It's well worth sending some time checking it out.
