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.

Regular people, posing in poses that do not suit their lifestyle.
Example: I knew someone who was regular as fvck, and a damn nerd. He spoke like the normal Mexican citizen in the United States would, an accent with proper words. He was a hip hop head, and has a REALLY REALLY good family. Bro always had the tight people around them. Yeah, they were bullies, but what they didn't do was commit crimes.
The moment it was picture time, this dude was a thug, and gangster. Like, bro, relax. You ain't gangster, you're just another person pretending. You are not a gangster, you are not a thug, you are not black, that's not what it means to be a Mexican. Etc etc.
It's even more offensive for me because I know people who lost their lives to that lifestyle. Friends, family, and fvckin pets.
If you're with it, be with it. Show it. My culture isn't a pose you put on for a picture.
