    From 0 to hitting the 3,000 registered member mark at some point today...yeah, this site is growing quickly :)

    I'm not the most active person on the forum but usually check in at least once each day and haven't yet personally seen or gotten involved in a thread as suffocatingly bad as the worst of the DPR threads I almost drowned in over the last decade.

    One of the things I really like about DPRevived is the open discussion that's taking place about governance. People are being allowed the space to express their opinions on a range of topics. Members are (mostly) giving each space to share divergent opinions. Sure, there's disagreement - sometimes passionate - but most of the exchanges don't get too personal.

    The admins seem to be taking it all in, occasionally nudging folks back into the "let's be collegial" lane. But that hasn't been needed, for the most part...not based on what I've seen. Based on the first couple of weeks, I'm optimistic about DPRevived's future.

    For my part, I'd like to see more member engagement and interaction in the genre-focused forums. We need more folks sharing photos to spark and be active in conversations about...photography.

    This thread is an open call to members to share your work in the "Descriptive Photography" forums. While you're there, have a look at the work of the other photographers and share a comment or two. Let's get more interactive.

    Let's share our love of the medium.

    Thanks Bill,

    I'll put some pictures up and see what happens.

    I was more a lurker than poster on DPReview, and now visiting both sites until April 10. I found more photos on DPReview and people willing to comment. Here I find more comments and less photos. I learn by seeing, I do not have the patience to read long diatribes. I hope we see more photos in the genre sections as well. Peace.

    Nice to see you here. It's early days - only a couple weeks so far... so give it time! Remember, Dpreview was around for 25 years!

    Regarding your comment: I haven't posted too many images YET - mostly because I'm figuring out how the site works, and watching it grow in features and members... while offering a few thoughts on structure and features here and there.

    I'm taking Bill's charge to heart though and will definitely post images. Lately, just shooting more documentary images with my phone lately than images worth sharing with my Z7.
