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.

My response to that would have been….unkind.
I’m somewhat lucky in that my physical size means people don’t pipe up too much, though that’s changing as the uk weirdly falls into the belief that nobody would ever punch them in the face (not that anyone should, but let’s not act like it doesn’t happen).
I once shot an incredibly beautiful photo of a child sitting on mum’s lap behind a booth at a farmers market in the USA. She was looking down lovingly and the child reached up with both hands to take her face. It was ADORABLE. she freaked out. Badly. I tried to show her the photo and she was basically shouting paedo and a crowd was forming. I called the police for her.
She would have absolutely loved that photo if she had just been a bit more calm.
