A few thousand words
Of all the blogs available in Utah, my favorite is Salt Lake Tribune photographer Trent Nelson's FlyontheWall. Probably because it has lots of pictures, lots of passion and few big words.
Everyone with a cell phone thinks they take great pictures, Nelson's website shows why that isn't, but can be, true.
Nelson impartially showcases some of the best in Utah photojournalism, including recent winners of the prestigious Best of Photojournalism Contest:

Ogden-based freelancer Ramin Rahimian.Having worked with some truly great photojournalists, including Trent, I'm always reminded of Robert Capa's famous quote: If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough.*

Neat stuff. Glad I found out about it. Thanks.
Brilliant minds think alike, I guess. Before I became unemployed as editor of City Weekly 5 weeks ago, I wrote a blurb for its Best of Utah issue, due out today, naming Trent's Flyonthewall as best blog. I have no idea if it made the final cut. But I've loved Trent's work forever and his blog is da bomb.
Thanks Holly. It did make it through. Hopefully I'll get a plaque to hang on my wall like all the ones Bombay House has.
