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.

So I have been scared out of my wits because I seriously want to follow my dreams. I want to start a digital magazine that features locals with a splash of non-local artists I have come to really admire over the years. I really want to get more involved in my local art community and just the community in general. This is my way to get more involved. My local art scene has some great painters, digital artists, and songwriters. I currently don't have my camera. Had to sell it to pay my bills. But I told myself when I get enough money to buy my equipment, I will start my project... So I'm getting very close to purchasing my camera and lens, and it's getting real lol. I'm scared but also excited!

Have any of you guys had this feeling?

Don't be scared. Just follow your dreams. Don't expect to make a bundle of cash, though. You don't even need an expensive camera. Your imagination and vision are what's needed. Use a phone camera if you must. You can also pick up a dirt-cheap SLR or micro 4/3 camera on Ebay if you want. I started my journey with a single prime lens and took some amazing shots. Less is more.
