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.

              Buy a camera. Learn how to use it.
Pick a conflict.
Fly (12 hours at most) to conflict.
Make friends with one side.
Take lots of pictures of interesting things. If it bleeds it leeds.
Market images to media outlets or internet moneymakers.
Make money to support further existence.
Try to stay alive.
