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.

Do you write about your photos? (alien.top)

Hi!

I’m curious about how many of you photographers write about your photos. I’ve got a specific reason for asking this.

Over the last few years my taste in what I photograph has changed quite a bit. I couldn’t find a thread through the images for quite a while, until I pulled a few out from a couple-month span and wrote about them. It was super useful for me, helping me realize what I was getting drawn to, and that in turn helped me focus my work going forward.

I’m curious if any of you write about your work too. Please tell me about it!

And please drop a link to the writing below if it’s public. I’d be down to give it a look.

Cheers!

Not as much as I should, but I do always write an opening essay or paragraph for my various projects, and I do have a couple blog posts talking about my photos! This is one of them (probably the best one lol): https://www.jonathanborton.com/blog/youngstown-ohio-an-ordered-world
