Weblogs Inc’s offering to the image-obsessed world, The Digital Photography Weblog, has closed its doors. Posting on all topics related to digital photography, the site has been active since September 2004. In more recent days, the site rested on the shoulders of one blogger by the name of Andrew Barrow who found himself saddled with update requirements that were unreasonable to him. I can definitely say that my main reason for not becoming more interested or involved the site was the scarcity of updates and content beyond the ‘Digital Photo of the Day’. In a comment on the final post, Andrew writes:

“As the only writer on the blog I only found out about the closure a few days ago - things move quickly at Weblogs Inc. There have been numours(sic) calls for writers to the blog over the last few months to boost the supply of relevant news, reviews and tips. But as far as I am aware no one applied. Without heavier posting - more than my abilities could supply - the future of the blog was always in doubt.“

Weblogs Inc. directs former readers to their other offerings, namely Engadget and Download Squad. To the best I have been able to determine, Andrew Barrow is still on staff and continuing to write for other Weblogs projects, including Slashfood alongside Nicole Weston and Sarah Gim. There is no word on whether he will become involved in any other photography blog projects.
