Is there a reason for images on forums?

[BrianShaw]

Why post an image? Because a picture is worth a thousand words.

I'd like to chime in with my two-cents worth: I agree.

Simple. Why post images on the forums?

When people are proud of their work, they like to share same with their peers.
In this case that involves photos.

In other cases it could be paintings or sculpture or poetry or flowers or whatever.
The pride of accomplishment is there in every genre.

Is it possible for any commentary beyond aperture, GPS coordinates, etc?

(I left teaching about thirty years ago, because I couldn't get over the 19 year olds problems.)

I am perplexed by both your question and your comment
my sentiments has been captured by the individuals who have already responded (I personally get a lot of out of seeing images others produce)
the onus is really on you to clarify why you think otherwise

with regards to your comment about "19 year olds problems" should that be taken as a reflection on what the comments other posters make on this forum?

your post definitely leaves the impression you are simply trolling….

i have noticed a rapid improvement in my own photos once i started coming here, much more than i ever got from participating in other photo-related sites which usually revolved around gear, not images.

bang!

I can't believe I'm even posting to such a stupid post.

Simple. Because pixies are so darned cute.

Yes, if you're an eleven year old girl.

Suddenly our moderators are allowing this sort of uncalled-for insult to be included here. Where is Kirk when we need him? The original post was not stupid. In fact, I responded to it because I found it refreshing to have someone question one of the unexamined assumptions here. Furthermore, I really don't think that the statement "a picture is worth a thousand words" means anything. Photographers endlessly repeat this old advertisement for Life magazine without asking how the worth of "a picture" and "words" can be compared. There are many ways to answer the original question without insulting the questioner. (Would it be possible for the author of an insult to apologize? Now, that would also be refreshing.)

You realize that this tread was most likely created as a joke right?
