Van 46’s mission statement is very simple: this is where Jefe (the site’s owner) posts his photographs and links to news articles. And that’s about it.
The photography is reasonably interesting; even if it isn’t something you particularly enjoy at least most of it is hosted at photo.net, arguably the best photography resource on the internet today.
Linking to news articles and sites of interests is not the site’s strength, and is the kind of activity best left to community message boards like Metafilter. It is my personal opinion that the site would be far more successful if it was devoted entirely to photography: a weblog is a personal creation, and should concentrate on delivering a piece of the blogger’s world to the internet for general consumption.
The camera was invented to allow people to see the world by another’s perspective; links to the news does not offer this possibility.The Van 46
