A initially learned photography as a kid shooting black & white then developing the photos in a dark room, that was a magical time and sparked my interest in photography. As I got older I dabbled in digital photography but wasn't until my kids were born that i really started to get an active interest back in it all.
I am an aspiring documentary photography. I don't have a camera yet, but I have written articles about the African villages and cultures, the ones which are never talked of
Ohhh, their consistently incredible photography is such a gift. Unfortunately, over the last years/5 +, the quality of their articles has continued to become more ridiculously strident in supporting an extreme POV, ignoring the real human costs in terms of increasingly stark bleak poverty and lack of opportunity here in the remote areas of the US. Apparently those conditions exist elsewhere or in urban areas only. Nat Geo now “specializes” in centerfolds of hacked up animal porn, relentless gloom and doom and listening only to certain interest (affluent, outside) groups rather than speaking with the local people who are simply trying to survive (while the large resort operators import workers from Eastern Europe) and keep expanding the size of our largest state park in the nation guaranteeing only the affluent and “imported” NIMBYs can ensure they’ve slammed the gate shut behind them. As a result, for the first time in over 70 yrs. my subscription has not been renewed. Nor have my friends or colleagues. That particular Nat Geo’s article concluded (para) something to the effect a fine balance between the needs of the ecosystem and the local population has been achieved. What “local population?” After reading and viewing this ceaseless pounding on an extreme green POV, apparently their editorial staff congratulates themselves on what a fine job they’ve done destroying the balance between reporting that is reasonable vs. relentless, reality based rather than finger shaking and self-satisfied. And they just don’t understand why their readership is dropping off precipitously. No, we’re not all dying off fast enough to account for that, but I’m sure Nat Geo wishes we all would.
Wonderful 🙏 thank you so much for uploading 👍

How can you see wonders of photography if you only want to stay in your city and take pics there?
