A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hi, so lately I've been going through a photography block for months and because of saturation of images on social media like Instagram, I was wondering where do you find like genuinely good photography to look at? You know something that really resonates with you and sparks your love for photography again...

If you have a local used book store see if they have any used national geographic books/magazines. They put out a lot of hard cover photo books for years and they are usually inexpensive and personally seeing an image in print is much better than on a screen.

500px used to be pretty good I am not sure how it is anymore.

Colossal has a nice featured photography section here that I really like and it has a wider variety than some other photography blogs.

If you want good photography by amateurs vs. professionals I also like looking at the winners of https://www.dpchallenge.com/ competitions.
