Wow. I can’t believe it’s been almost three months since PetaPixel was started back on May 14th. Things have gotten pretty exciting since then, both here on this blog and with our Twitter account.

This is an open thread for you to comment on whatever you’d like. I’ll be reading each and every comment left on this thread.

How are you enjoying our twitter updates? Should we post more frequently? Less? Have anything you’d like us to link to?

I would also really appreciate it if you suggest some popular photographers or photobloggers for us to interview. We’re always on the lookout for new faces.
