#523 Long live your photo blog!

David duChemin is back for his third visit, and this time we're tackling a surprising topic: the enduring power of photography blogs. In an age of algorithms and fleeting posts, David makes a compelling case that blogs aren't dead and are thriving as vital spaces for deeper storytelling and better connection with your audience. Through a curated collection of photography blogs, we explore why long-form content and owning your platform matter more than ever, whether you're shooting for clients or purely for the love of it. David is a photographer and author based on Vancouver Island, Canada. A former humanitarian photographer, his work shifted after a life-altering accident in Italy in 2011 left him a below-the-knee amputee. We also talk about his adventures in Kenya. Join David in this special to discover why the blog remains one of photography's most powerful tools. Read more about our photographic adventures on our photography travel website, The Journey Beyond. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week and Arthelper.ai, giving photographers smart tools to plan, promote, and manage your creative projects more easily. WHY: A Sketchbook of Life is available here.
