Dave's Favorites: The New York Institute of Photography
The New York Institute of Photography has been around since 1910; it's one of the oldest photography schools in the world. I had a chance to visit the institute many years ago--back when I lived in the pizza capital of the world--and I still remember the trip fondly.
It wasn't until recently, though, that I thought to look the institute up on the Web. And I found a great site that budding photographers should bookmark.
The institute's Web site is chock full of useful information for any student of digital photography, whether you're enrolled at the NYIP or noodling with your camera on weekends. There are frequently updated photo tips, articles about every facet of digital photography, and camera shopping tips. Best of all is the Photo of the Month Review, in which a NYIP student dissects a photo to explain what works, what doesn't, and why. It's a great opportunity to learn how to improve your own photos.
