I suppose I'm showing up fashionably late for Blog Day. Does four days late still count as fashionable? Maybe not. Regardless, it's an opportunity for me to share a short list of my favorite weblogs with you. Putting recipes and cooking aside for today, I'm going to focus on non-food sites this time around, sites that focus on some of my other areas of interest - photography, creativity, art, design, and the like.

Satorialist:
Armed with a camera and a keen sense of style, Scott Schuman (aka the Satorialist) combines two of my favorite past times (photography and people watching) into a fashion-focused site. Page after page of people with fantastic individual style. A few of my favorite posts/photos include this shot on the steps at Versace, two frames before the McQueen show, or this shot (seen above) on the street in Nolita.

Journal of a Photographer:
After working for years as a graphic designer, Martin Fuchs decided to chase his dream of being a photojournalist and left his native Austria to tackle a six month internship at legendary Magnum Photos in New York City. His site started off as a chronicle of photos and experiences from New York and has since evolved into one of the best photography-related destinations online. I think I speak for many people when I say it has been inspiring to see Martin grow as a photographer, tackle his first assignments, and navigate his was through the world of professional photojournalism. For all the photoenthusiasts out there be sure to visit his interview section, resources, and robust link list.

City Voices:
Always good for a quick laugh or snicker, these sites go to show that there are times where people-watching can in fact be trumped by eavesdropping. Dialog Blog is San Francisco's answer to the Big Apple's rampantly popular Overheard in New York.

TEDBlog:
This is the best way for me to keep up with my pals at the TED conference. In addition to the TEDBlog, select talks are now being pulled from the conference archives and put and put online for public access. There is a rich library of past TED speakers that span the worlds of architecture, philosophy, nanotechnology, art, economics, design, and more - and I suspect many of these talks will be made accessible to the public over time through TEDTalks. Start with Sir Ken Robinson's talk about creativity and education and work your way through the list from there. I've been lucky enough to witness many of the talks and performances that are still in the hopper and can't wait to forward the links as more of the classics are rolled out.

Letters to Marc Jacobs

Go back, wayyyyy back in the archives, and enjoy.

Freakonomics:

Team Freakonomics blog constantly about all sorts of fascinating issues, news, topics, and theories.

Karin's Style Blog
http://www.karineriksson.se/blog/
I dream of having Karin style a photo shoot for me at some point. She has a great eye. Make your way through the archives on this one as well.

Sound off on any other sites you think I'd like or should know about. Back to recipes later this week, I've got an idea for a fun twist on the classic BLT.
