from American Suburb X’s Jules Shulman Archive on Facebook
So, posting slow as I’m working on a redesign of the site that will make the archives more accessible and conversations and comments more visible. It’ll be up this week or next.
In the meantime, check out… Facebook? Yes, Facebook, that massive social networking site that has been adapted by businesses the world over for reasons of dubious (at best) marketing trends.
Dubiousness aside, there are quite a few photo resources on Facebook, many of which you can find by searching through the profiles of various well connected photo personalities. Most of them use the site as another website – announcing the occasional news item, keeping the profile up to date, adding friends, but little else but maintaining a presence on the site.
An exception to this has been the always excellent ‘blog’ American Suburb X, which has really outgrown the blog form and instead become a repository for scholarly essays on huge swaths of the photography world. They maintain a huge amount of their content on their Facebook site, rendering a friending well worth it…
Others I like – The Photography Post, Foam Magazine, nofound, Lay Flat, Little Brown Mushroom, etc. Let me know if I’m missing anything in the comments…
