But when it comes right down to it ... I don't enjoy talking about photography. That is kind of a paradox. Here I am on a photography list, a written communication list, but I really don't get much out of discussing photography. I get sick of the conventional wisdom about doing it this way, agitating that way, regurgitating another way. There is so much of that, that some 18 year old kid has read in a glossy photo magazine and spews up again as if it was acquired knowledge from 30 years experience. I can tell decades of experience when I run across it, and there are quite a few members on this list with that experience. I enjoy their sharing of it. I suspose I am one of them as well. I think I processes my first roll of film 40 years ago this year, might have been last year. On the other hand I am like a kid in a candy store when it comes to taking pictures, sharing pictures and looking at others' pictures. It is an aesthetic experience that I find difficult (and of a low-priority) to express in words. But that's me. I'm sure if you want to take up generic photographic subjects no one would object. It has happened before on this list and there are compentent participants. But I think it would be hard to narrow down a list to only that subject matter. Ehhhh ... just go out and read the master, Susan Sonntag :-) :-) :-) Daniel On 2/9/06, Scott McLoughlin <scott@adrenaline.com> wrote: > Folks, > > Are there any non-gear oriented photography mailing lists out there? > Photo.net is mostly gear oriented, and their few non-gear forums are > pretty dead. > > I'd be looking to discuss other notable photographers' work, members' > possible photo projects, member photos (like here on the LUG) and > the like. > > Thanks! > > Scott > > -- > Pics @ http://www.adrenaline.com/snaps > Leica M6TTL, Bessa R, Nikon FM3a, Nikon D70, Rollei AFM35 > (Jihad Sigint NSA FBI Patriot Act) > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >
