Google + has been out for a little while now and has been pretty hot in the photography community. I have to admit that I was pretty skeptical at first. When google wave came out last year I thought it might be cool but turned out to be a flop. With the Google + announcement it looked like they were on to something with a great interface and design but I still wasn’t sure about it so took it slow at the start. After putting my toes in for awhile though I found a really good community of photographers and am now just starting to enjoy it. I think this might replace some of my Twitter or Facebook interactions. For those of you still not sure of Google + or don’t know what it is i’ll put together a little review post next week with some highlights.

Today though I wanted to share some awesome photographers that have been leading the way on Google +. Add these photographers to your circles for some great conversations and inspiring work. Also if you want to add me, here is my Google + link: + Mark Stagi. Also if you want an invite to Google + just send me a DM on twitter, I’m on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/digitalphotobuz.
