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?

Love reading these! So many great stories and moments.

I'm just a hack with a camera, but I love cars and jets, and when I was a little kid, my entire room was plastered with pictures from Road & Track magazine, and all sorts of different aircraft as well. I had many ideas for images that I wanted to make, and just had no idea how to do it.

Now as a big kid, I have the camera gear and knowhow, and I've been hired from many different jet operators and listing agencies to take high quality pictures of their multi million dollar jets (as well as getting to fly in them!) Then when I got hired to shoot a Ferrari for Road & Track magazine, I just imagine some kid cutting my pictures out and putting them on their wall... Certainly one of those moments for me.
