Elitist Artist Only? LFPF...
Where are we going?
I know I am not a great photographer or artist'
I do my best and fail, my actual vision is failing, a sorry excuse
Sure I went to college as old man
as I needed to achieve my dream at any cost
I love snapping handheld with flashbulbs!
Never had them until I joined LFPF
loosen up and play
my time is very short
i pray i see my 3rd eclipse
they are gifts
Re: Elitist Artist Only? LFPF...
I don’t know… it seems less “elitist” than it used to be. Of course there also used to be a lot more active members so maybe it just seems less elitist now because there is so little going on.
Re: Elitist Artist Only? LFPF...
I’ve never found this to be an “elitist” group. Rather it is a collection of people who share an interest and try to pass on their knowledge and experience to those who ask for it.
Re: Elitist Artist Only? LFPF...
I don't find this forum to be "elitist". Some participants are a bit opinionated, but not elitist.
Re: Elitist Artist Only? LFPF...
We need to define elite.
If elite is doing what few others are attempting, I'd guess elite could be an apt term.
If elite is being an artsy-fartsy, then no.
Large Formats are too humbling for most artsy-fartsys.

Is this a trick question? :)
Everything made by everyone is art, everyone who uses a camera is a photographer and of course there is a bit of elitism involved we still use film and don’t shoot from the hip. But people here are nice and go out of their way to be helpful (even giving strangers gear, materials and on some cases darkrooms to use, and prints to share ). … as seen recently even bending over backwards to offer advice to perspective enthusiasts who might seem difficult andstandoffish.. it’s good kind of fine art elitism, the kind other enthusiasts sites should aspire to be like.. vive le difference !

If you're failing your not trying hard enough. There is no distinction in being a conformist.

Some thoughtful points honestly made, thank you. Something to reflect on.
Re: Elitist Artist Only? LFPF...
Nope, can't recall ever spotting an elitist artist lurking in these here parts.
... but deranged hobbyists, now that's a completely different story. :)
I like a place where I can fit in comfortably.
