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 dislike photography snobs. When I'm out doing street or urban I invariably spot someone doing likewise. I like to have a chat but don't try to judge me on my gear or setup, especially if you have black tape on the manufacturers logo of your camera.

What’s the deal with the gaff tape on the logos anyway?

I know some people do it to make their shit look beat up to potentially prevent theft. No idea how effective it is.

I did that with duck tape and my backpack and discman to keep from getting targeted by the various shenanigans going on at Greyhound stations back in the day (late 90s/early 2000s). It worked pretty well.

There is absolutely too much gatekeeping in photography.
