picture this: a fellowship of photographers - at all levels of ability from interested beginner through seasoned pro - sharing knowledge, thoughts, and feelings on aesthetics, technique, equipment, and everything else pertaining to the art and science of photography (and of course showing off our photos ;). film, digital; APS, DX-format, 35mm, medium-format, view camera; lighting, metering, composition, megapixel counts, labs, darkrooms both chemical and digital; fashion, nature, product, travel, wedding, nude/erotic, abstract, portrait, photojournalism, whatever: it's all good, and it's all welcome here (and please only request admission if you agree with that statement).

while friendly, mutually-educational debate is welcome and encouraged, this is not the place for heated arguments about the superiority of Canon or Nikon or one area of specialization over another or whatever, and such posts (and any others deemed detrimental to the peaceful and comfortable atmosphere of the fellowship) will be deleted at the sole discretion of the Big Boss (that's me. :)

that said...if you're interested, please request membership...then come on in, teach, learn, and enjoy!

=========

here are a few (well, okay: more than a few) links of interest to photographers; links to members' images first, followed by more general-interest links, in more-or-less alphabetical order. members, please feel free to suggest more. all links open in new windows or tabs, unless i've missed any (*grin*) ; also, there's a lot of links here, so i can't reasonably accept responsibility for any broken or outdated ones:
