is this good photography? pic related

It's your 1st amendment rights to use that camera anon.

Do you submit to magazines or prizes? I know the meme is that you can only hope to leave just one or two worthwhile photos after you die. But what’s wrong with trying to build a career?

Photography has the power to not only document the horrors of the world, but also bear the mark of its maker, for better or worse. It is not simply opening and closing a shutter.

Take this evidence that the SS photographer, Friedrich Franz Bauer, implicated himself with. He usually made propaganda of concentration camps to normalize them against any moral outrage. This was part of the Nazi regime's policy to beautify their camps and "Jewish settlements."

Here, Bauer takes photos of innocent children in a psychiatric hospital. He knew full well they would face forced euthanasia during Aktion T4. But history now sees this photo as a criminal act, a witness to the worst parts of humanity, as well as a bystander who did nothing to stop the rise of modern evil. Again, photography is not merely clicking a button. It has the power to echo throughout history.

Anyone else like taking photos of mundane shit like stairs when they're on vacation? i feel like no one's taking photos of the stairs and the trash cans so it's my responsibility to.

Looking for pre-2000s landscape photography calenders. Not having much luck. Anyone seen any around?

Why are image sensors rectangular when a camera’s image circle is… well, circular?

Recently got a camera without a light meter, looking for some tips on how to meter by eye.
I get the principle behind sunny 16, and have the table in my head, but I'm constantly getting different readings from my (phone) light meter than I'm getting from my guesses using sunny 16.
Is it just practice?
