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've been taking pictures for about almost 4 years. I used to uploaded on Instagram and Facebook so other people could see it. But right know with the Insta bad algorithm I'm trying to find what to do with my pictures, because I love sharing them. One option I thought was to print them and gift them, but thats a little expensive and I take too much photos. Also I was thinking on making a website for store them like a virtual gallery or maybe a blog, but I'm not sure if it worth the time.

What do you do with your photos?
And what could you recommend me to deal with this feeling?

Sorry if I'm a little vague with my feelings but its the first time I feel like that.

Decide what the purpose of each photo is: art, documentation, family memories, portraits, etc. Then you know how to treat it.

Documentation needs to be carefully cataloged because you're keeping it for reference and if you need it, finding it quickly will be the most important thing.

Family memories should be shared with whomever is interested. You can put together an annual album, a collection of photos to document an event, or a collection of photos of a specific person and give them to whomever is interested.

In any case, choosing the useful/best photos is critical. Trying to do something with every shot you take will drive you mad.
