>>2966106It took over the much needed time killing from video games after the latter gradually turned into boring garbage post 2007. I guess I've learned some technical stuff which normies believe to be nothing short of black magic (basics of exposure). Stuff like developing and digitizing can keep me busy and energetic throughout a day which I'd otherwise spend on 4chan hitting F5 and trying to work up the effort to play some game which ends up blankly staring at my Steam library. Right now I'm assembling a darkroom kit so I can start doing prints.
>Also, why are photographers usually lonely or not atractive people?I guess we just have a lot of spare time and income. I'm a wizard and I've been socially dead inside for a decade. I can only bother putting up an appearance when I'm at work. Unlike a lot of other activities, photography is viable to do solo. My favorite thing is going out around 5am in the morning with a camera, when the streets are completely silent, it makes me feel incredibly comfy and desolate streets are always great to shoot.
