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.

Acting like because it’s shot in film it’s art by default.
I think there are a lot of people that learn about editing style or shooting formats, rather than content (subject, emotion, moment, composition, lighting and other in-camera techniques, etc).
And if those fundamentals are weak, it can feel like putting a coat of paint on a crumbling structure. The paint is great if there's a strong foundation, but without it...
Oh yeah that’s exactly what I mean. I love film but it’s not some magic wand that makes every image interesting
