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.

I like the idea of being able to look at something that has already happened but still exists in some way. It becomes a reference for memory and how you look at a picture can change or evolve over time, too. Pictures taken ten years ago can take on a different meaning today. They can also be a bit mysterious and pose more questions than answers becoming a good thought exercise. Pictures can form their own version of reality depending on who is looking at them.
