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 somehow managed to get myself allowed to photograph these wildfire ruins with these safety supervisors permission. I was primarily going around them and never even asked to go into the burnt forest part, but these guys saw me carting all my stuff around and asked me what I was doing. I explained I’m doing a photo series on wildfires and their aftermath to advocate for more attention to climate change and such. They liked the idea, asked if I wanted to go into the area somewhat to get wide photos and closeup of ashes, etc. (couldn’t go too far in because there still might be embers which is why they were there). They were super nice, just said they hoped it worked out well for me and I got into a gallery lol
Idk who they were personally, but if I get this into a gallery, I will definitely be dedicating it to them
