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.

Rant There are people who have little talent/skill that get a lot of business and people who have talent and skill who get no business. It’s so annoying. I know people who know how to use their tools and get gigs left and right and there’s me who tries very hard to get work and has no luck.

You are not good people only care about the subject matter not the skills to do the job right and make things look good-great.

There are people who are amazing and get work but I am talking about the people who are near the line.

The subject is what 99% of people care most about when looking at a photograph.

A technically mediocre photograph of an amazing, interesting, thought-provoking subject is much, much better than a technically perfect photograph of a cliché.

I literally don't even understand what that sentence is supposed to say

Especially in the context of professional work which this post seems to be about. You are getting paid to deliver a product, that product being photos of a specific subject. The client doesnt care what goes into it as long as they receive the product that they paid for.
