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.

A self-portrait is a self-representation in art, typically created by an artist using various artistic mediums, such as painting, drawing, or photography. It often involves careful composition and can be highly expressive and artistic. It has more care put into it.
A selfie, on the other hand, is a casual self-portrait taken with a smartphone or camera, typically using the front-facing camera. Selfies are often quick, informal snapshots and are commonly shared on social media. While selfies can be artistic, they are generally associated with more everyday and spontaneous self-representation.
