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 want to understand the fascination some people have with this theme. How did you started with it? Is it a Hobby or your Job? I am not a native speaker, still learning english, so sorry for mistakes.

For me it is a hobby I picked up 15+ years ago. I grew up with national geographic magazines in the house. I may not have read every issue I always loved how stunning their images were. The amazing people and places they showed. It was much different fairly boring small town and the mid sized city that we lived closed to.

Part of it was I wanted a hobby that I could explore more of the artistic side and photography felt very accessible to me. It's also has a lot of different genres to explore is a great reason to travel more and it's a hobby where I can always keep growing and learning.
