Below are some of the best photography links from other sites that I came across this week. Enjoy!

If you want your photography-related site on Free Links Friday, just drop a comment or an email asking nicely. Leave a link and a short description of what your site or particular post is about. Spammers need not apply.
I’m more and more convinced that for many photographers, seeking popularity on flickr is actually damaging to one’s skills, in that it makes people abandon their pursuit of good photography in favor of popular photography, and the two are by no means the same. People forget about composition and emotion and concentrate on the easy tricks that will gain them the most hits ASAP.
