This will be my third day on reserve with no flight. I am very very bored. I've organized just about everything on my computer that can be organized. In honor of my excessive boredom I present to you some random links for your enjoyment, because seriously, if I can't be entertained at least someone will be.

I chose this selection because I'm bored and also because I'm shopping around for a new camera. I have a Canon PowerShot A520, which is a nice little camera but isn't giving me all the features I want. So I present to you random photography links!

Alarana.net: Travel Photographs! Can you tell I like that subject? But yes, beautiful photography. I remain jealous. This is actually a friend from high school and college and I can't help but be impressed by where she's gone and what she's done.

David Doubilet: One of my favorite photographers. He specializes in underwater photography and his work is magical. I'm sure you've seen it before, his work is featured regularly in National Geographic and I've even seem some of it pop up in advertising here and there. One of my favorite books of his is Water Light Time, it's a compilation of images that capture the magnificience and beauty of the underwater world.

Nick Brandt: I stumbled across his work a few months ago and was blown away. He specializes in sepia tone photographs of African Wildlife. Photos of African wildlife are everywhere, you can't escape them it seems, but his work captures the mystery and beauty of the continent and its wildlife, showing them in a whole new light at times.

Thomas D. Mangelsen: My first introduction to his work was when my aunt gave me his book Images of Nature for my birthday years ago. Since then I've been in love with his work. He specializes in North American wildlife, although you'll find various other locations tucked away in there. He's got a knack for showing you what these animals are really like and how they live their lives. His big speciality is Polar Bears and his one image ""Born of the North Wind" remains one of my all time favorite photographs.

David Liittschwager and Susan Middleton: There is no official website for their work, this is just the National Geographic page. I first ran across their work in a National Geographic article and knew that I absolutely MUST own their book that was coming out: Archipelago: Portraits of Life in the World's Most Remote Island Sanctuary It details their trip to Hawai'i and the photographs they took of the island species there. The photos are amazing. They are simple, yet elegant and awe inspiring.

There you go. A few new names hopefully and some wonderful galleries of work to browse through.
