Hey everyone! As most of you know, I’ve been doing some reflecting on our community lately. While I love the simplicity of "The Photography Club," I’ve realized that it sounds a bit generic and doesn't really reflect the deep, intentional work we do here. Early members might remember that this name was chosen just one hour before launch, because a lawyer told me that I could not use the name "The Photography University." 😅 But we do way more than just talk about shutter speed and aperture on our live calls. We dive deep into emotions, color psychology, and the "why" behind the photos. As we discussed in our last workshop, editing actually starts with the way you see and compose a photo before you even press the shutter. To make us stand out (and be easier to find in search!), I’m thinking about a name that captures this philosophy. My current favorite is: The Art of Seeing (AOS). I feel this name better represents our journey of asking the right questions before we edit—focusing on the emotion we want to convey and what truly matters in a frame. What do you think? Please vote below! I really value your input—this club/community is for all of us, and I want the name to feel like home for your creative journey. 📸

My feijoa tree thrives on diversity, a living testament to nature's quiet wisdom. Like so many fruit trees, it depends on cross-pollination to bear its bounty—neighbors sharing whispers of pollen to spark life. Mine hosts three distinct varieties, each yielding fruits of strikingly different shapes: some plump and rounded, others slender and elegant, all bursting with flavors that range from subtle sweetness to bold, tangy fire. In their variety, they remind me of life's richest gifts—the unexpected joys born from connection. I cherish my feijoa tree deeply. ISO400 | 35mm | f.8 | xpan

Jumped into a little fashion shot this time with a traditional Korean hat called "Gat". I picked this shot to represent the series. ISO:125 | 58mm | f2.0

This is my contribution to the black & white assignment. My attention was drawn to this motive because of the shadows the chairs are making and the emptiness I felt. Why isn't anyone sitting there and enjoying the sun? Having a chat ;-) Curious what you think of my picture choice and if you would have erased the little pony on one of the chairs? or is this distracting element making it more interesting? f 10 / 1/250 / ISO 100

Perhaps this is why we should write about our photo a little bit more. Also commenting others. I think it makes good sense. Let's grow together 🙂 https://fstoppers.com/opinion/why-writing-about-your-photography-will-make-better-photographer-900370
