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.

I am definitely a weekend warrior, but I believe it’s out of necessity, I have bills that can’t be left to an unsteady paycheck. I don’t undercut, I only do a handful of wedding annually now. I love the art and always willing to learn from anyone, regardless of their expertise.
And you should not feel bad about it! If I could quit my job and dedicate 40+ hours a week to photography I’d do it in a heartbeat. But it’s a very high risk with the cost of living my city / absolutely needing health insurance at all times. I also don’t relate to this persons comment about not taking criticism. I’ve met loads of beginners who want nothing more than feedback and tips.
I wouldn’t even call myself a beginner, def more intermediate, been doing it for about 5-6 years now, was more active early on. That health insurance is definitely another cause.
