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 always liked art but I have a science brain so it’s the only artistic medium I’m naturally good at.
For personal photos, I love recording memories in that medium, draws me back into whatever was happening or whatever I was doing at the time.
For client/photos of others, I just really enjoy the reaction people have to a good photo of them doing something really cool or looking really good. It’s a nice feeling to be able to give someone the same experience I have when I take photos for myself.
Also it’s just fun, I love collecting gear, I love the color and light science stuff, it’s one of the few things I can obsess over in terms of learning new techniques, researching new or experimental gear, and its just a really easy way to say “I wonder what would happen if I did this?” And being able to produce something.
