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've been taking pictures for about almost 4 years. I used to uploaded on Instagram and Facebook so other people could see it. But right know with the Insta bad algorithm I'm trying to find what to do with my pictures, because I love sharing them. One option I thought was to print them and gift them, but thats a little expensive and I take too much photos. Also I was thinking on making a website for store them like a virtual gallery or maybe a blog, but I'm not sure if it worth the time.

What do you do with your photos?
And what could you recommend me to deal with this feeling?

Sorry if I'm a little vague with my feelings but its the first time I feel like that.

Same with the algorithm! When I first started using instagram almost 10 years ago I’d get a decent amount of views and likes and my photos were much worse than now lol. Nowadays I’m lucky to get 20 likes. It is what it is, I really don’t post much anymore because I don’t see the point.

I create photo calendars every year that I gift my extended family, a way to make use of my photos and I also love the idea of us all looking at the same photo every month, while we’re physically so far apart. I’m also going to get some big prints of my favorites and hang them up around my house as decoration.
