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 shoot street so everything looks like shit. In a year, I'll have less than 10 photos that I'm truly proud of.
When I first started to get into photography I was friends with a full time professional photographer that owned a studio business and shot magazine covers. He’d been shooting for many years and made incredible images. I asked him how many good photos he’d taken over the last years and he thought for a minute and said, “Six”. I understand that. As you get better you start to be more self critical.
I have a masters in photography now and I think that my “good” photos are only good because they are in successful dialogue with other photos. Really the question I’d ask is, what projects are good. I have two projects that I think are decent.
