Thanks for the Nomination!
Muchas gracias to whoever nominated Strobist for a 2008 Weblog award in the Photo category. (Apparently, they didn't have a DIY black-straw snoot category.)The gesture is much appreciated. If you want to second (or third) the nomination, you can do so by clicking the little green "+" button on this comment right here.
This is a call for nominations. If we make it to the finals, voting for that will begin on December 8th. And to everyone who added their vote to the nomination, a big thank you.

David, you got my vote. It was nice to meet you yesterday at Ben Willmore's seminar. I really wanted to thank you for so freely sharing your knowledge. It is greatly appreciated.
There look to be 2 "Strobist" nominations, one on top of the other. I voted for both for good measure... :)

Don't forget to vote for Best Online Community: 2008.weblogawards.org/nominations/best-photo-blog/
and
Best Individual Blogger: 2008.weblogawards.org/nominations/best-individual-blogger/
Voted... easy choice.
sad to say, but I'll admit it, I check it several times a day... otherwise I get the shakes and start sweating a little.. I'm getting better, the counseling helps but sometimes late at night when there's no sponsor to call ... I check strobist again...
don't quit... I need just a little more.

I voted also! I come back everyday and often multiple times a day! I can feel the force starting to vibrate more naturally thanks to you.
I'm nurtured with this blog, so i have to keep it moving as far as i could. Strobist is indeed a hope for those people who wants to be in photography specially for poor guys like me. i voted as well yet
David,
Not sure if you noticed, but Strobist was also featured in "Professional Photographer" magazine this month (the cover with the baby headshot).w
Strobist website nourishes me everyday with bright idea and wisdom. Ican't afford photography schools but I rreally love photography and David Hobby just became an instant answer to my questions
There seem to be about FOUR nominations, all with subtly different strobist pages. Be sure to vote for all of them, lest the vote become diluted!
That said, strobist is leading massively. Nobody else is even halfway into double figures, and two of the strobist entries are at 300ish and 500ish.
You rock :)

Thank you so much David! You and Strobist are really deserving of this nomination and hopefully the award! Strobist really helped my quest in Flash Photography. It also helped a lot in my current thesis in school! I have voted Strobist in the Weblog Awards and I am hoping it will win! You really deserve it! Thanks!
Judging by the current vote tally, this isn't even going to be close. As it shouldn't be.
Up to about 1100 as of now, love ya Dave!
You are going to romp this in - as you deserve. Best blog and I eagerly await each new post - I've learnt more from this blog than any other website/book/etc. Thanks a million and keep it coming :) Cheers, Jase
I voted for both ;)
Perhaps they can combine the four strobist nominations into one...?
Goes without saying, David - you've got my vote.
There has been no individual blogger (not a corporate blog) that has had more of an impact on any industry than David Hobby's Strobist. You walk into any camera store almost any where in the world and ask them what products they can't keep in stock.
The answer is always "flash equipment, you know, the strobist thing"
So thanks David, I would send you random blank cheques if I could afford it to compensate all that you have taught me since your first post.
Awsome I clicked on over 20 nominations today alone. No doubt Dave has made my work faster easier and raised the quality of the images more than I expected.
Best of all post production is so much quicker. I with the other guys if I could send random blanks checks I would.
Thanks Dave
Hi, long time reader/lurker here. I've never taken the time to properly thank David Hobby for this site, I think this is a good time to start. I voted, but the site had me pending on something... anyways, I have no doubt Strobist will win!
Actually, I found about 36 different nominations for Strobist with a total vote of over 3,000 (as of the time of this comment.) I think you're gonna win, Dave!
BTW: I added my vote to each nomination I found...
Strobist FTW!!!
Why are you people settling for "Best Photo Blog"? I just places a nomination for "Best Blog"! You people need to go plus it up! :-)
You can find the nomination quickly by searching the page for "AlanS17" (that's me).
Hmmm... Well I guess they have to approve my "Best Blog" nomination before anyone can actually vote on it...
I love this blog. I love the things you are learning me. I love the humour in it. It's just great.
You're a winner, David.
I voted for ya.
I have no doubt you'll take this one out. The information you have provided on here taught me more in six months than two years studying photography full time. Its great that there are still people in the world who give of their time and effort to help others and ask nothing in return. The very least us readers can do is ensure you win this award. Thanks much for all the hard work Dave!
Whoa!
I voted for Strobist, too... I just hope people stop nominating Strobist over and over again... there are more than 20 nominations now, and we really just need the first. Just make your vote count by clicking on the plus ("+") sign after the first nomination...

FWIW, I voted for Strobist on all its nominations, just to make sure ;) It's going to be a landslide...
Advanced congratulations and good luck, David! Keep up the great work, and THANK YOU!
I voted! I read strobist every damn day.
Vote for Best Blog on this page:

I voted for strobist. :-)
Well that's my vote placed :o)
Good luck,

I read your web site everyday, except when the SB-800 went on sale. I show other wanna be photographers who come into my office your site. I could be looking for a new career next month. I work for a MI newspaper, thanks for the help. You have my vote.
Yep, Strobist is best - you've got my vote.
