The occasional Reading Shortlists on fototazo of eclectic recommended readings and links are made by storing up dozens of bookmarks in a folder and eventually getting around to reading and selecting enough of them to make a post. Also mixed into the folder, however, are bookmarks of photographer sites, either recommended or randomly discovered.
I thought as a parallel to the Reading Shortlists that "Project Shortlists" would be a good way to share recommended portfolios, sites and projects that I come across. A recommendation does not mean more than that - just a recommended look. These shortlists will be archived on the site links page.
