5 photographers a day for 100 weeks. Pieter Wisse writes about 500 active photographers working today on his blog, 500 Photographers.
“The photographers can be from any discipline within the photographic range, but they have to be worth looking at and have a certain level of quality. When we get to number 500, we will have a deep database of great photographers,” states Pieter Wisse on the weblog. The author is a photographer himself and just started this project several weeks ago (April 5, 2010). Check it out and keep looking back every couple days for a brand new artist.
