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 want to understand the fascination some people have with this theme. How did you started with it? Is it a Hobby or your Job? I am not a native speaker, still learning english, so sorry for mistakes.

It's an accessible way to make beautiful art. I can express myself creatively with it.

It's just the right level of challenge to hold my interest. There's always something new to learn and skills I can improve without it ever feeling overwhelming.

It's a way to preserve memories of people and places.

It's a motivating factor to get me to go out and do stuff and see things that I might not otherwise experience. Getting out of bed before dawn to shoot a sunrise. Traveling to some of the most beautiful places on the planet. Exploring the nooks and crannies of my own neighborhood in search of visually interesting things. Learning about history and the natural world.

And in the end I always have some cool pictures to look at.
