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 don’t think my approach has changed too much over time, I’ve probably always been this way. But for me, the scene/frame is the most important thing. If there’s a person in it somewhere, that’s cool but that’s not what I’m seeking out. In other words, I’m not specifically looking for people. But I’m not running away from them either. I’m just looking for interesting compositions, whatever that involves.
I try to keep that mindset too. But there's definitely a division between people weirded out that you're taking their picture, and others who don't mind and do a cheesy pose.
Random aside - I feel like community events are open game for candid compositions.
