Hi, all. I’m not a photographer, and I certainly hope I’m not a fauxtographer — strictly a hobby snapper who is slowly and surely learning what the little P&S she bought at a garage sale for $20 (and editing software) can do. I’ve joined this site because most of the submissions make me feel better about my own amateur efforts, and because I hope to pick up some tips here and there. Hope you’ll let me stick around!
diverging somewhat from dicksforeyes comment.. IF you’re going to be a prick and mock and condescend others work, then yes “pics or gtfo”..
participating in fun discussion and all that which doesn’t include the above.. welcome aboard!
DISCLAIMER: That’s how I’d like the world to be.. clearly you are allowed to participate all you want.. just don’t be surprised if pricks like me (and dicksforeyes!) say stuff like “pics or gtfo!” 🙂
I probably fall into faux nor pro – though maybe not now – I ended up creating a photography page on FB (cringe) so the middle school football team kids and parents can tag each other, etc., without having a ton more friends on my FB feed. My FB is already so big that I lose track of people sometimes that are important to me.
(and I’m more worried y’all will consider me faux than suddenly listing myself as “pro” – I don’t have the chops yet for people to call me pro, though a few really successful photographers are actually kind of mentoring me and being very encouraging, much to my surprise!)
