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.

Every year I try to have at least one of these. Some years I do some I don’t. I just had one the other day and I was wondering if anyone else thinks like this?

Back in 2013 I was a flight attendant for an international airline. I’d developed a love for travel photography and was getting pretty good.

Wanderlust is a big travel magazine over here in the UK. In the same year I entered their annual Travel Photography Competition.

I was on holiday in Thailand when I discovered I’d won the main portfolio category with a series of images on the New York subway.

That’s when I realised I really might make it as a pro so started making extra effort to make it happen.
