Need differnt picture posting forums
I don't know if I am missing something or not but I do not see any place to just post a picture that I would like people to see without specifically posting something in a thread of just my pictures. When I come to a photography website my first goal is to see great pictures and get inspired by other peoples work. If in the process I see several pictures of a member that interest me I will seek out their work by checking out their gallery and check them out more. To me the pictures come first and are the main objective not seeing what a particular member has decided to take a picture of and post that day. If I find a member that does work I like I will seek out their pictures. To me it is about the pictures not the members that is the reason I come to a photography site. I was told to place all me pictures in a single thread and to add to it each time I would like to add another picture. To me having it set up this way emphasizes the individual member first and the pictures take a back seat. For example, with it set up this way if I have an interest is in a particular subject such as flowers then I have to look through every individuals threads to see if they have taken any of the subject I am interested in. As the amount of members grow and I have to spend hours looking through threads to find pictures that I am interested in I will end up going else ware to find pictures. To me having it set up this way is more like each individual having a blog showing what they managed to get a picture of that day. I like to take pictures of many different subjects and post them for other people to see. The way it is set up now, if you come to my thread and the first couple of times and you look at the pictures I post and are of a subject that just doesn't interest you then you may never return to see later pictures that are of a totally different subject that you may really like. I like this site and find the members here very helpful and they get along with each other in a friendly way. I plan on hanging out here for a while so I would like to see this site just get better and better. Jeff
