I enjoy other people, their minds and hearts, and what they consider that's good for photographing...

I enjoy learning, and here there are people who know A LOT... And I mean much more than about lenses and cameras and image quality: they know a lot about what's important to express visually, and what's important to do to get image quality: usually it's not about the gear when you're doing fast street shooting.

And of course the great RFF humor...

Cheers,

Juan

And as for the inspiring part... just take a look at this past week's Gallery Picks of the Week thread.
 
Photography and more specifically street photography. I developed a fixation with film early this year which then lead me to street photography and of course the rangefinder. I stumbled accross this forum a few months back while research rangefinders and found lots of good tips.
 
I came seeking info - RFF pages turned up in google searches related to the Jupiter-12, and I had to register to see the photos. Found a good community of rangefinder users, and seem to have decided to stick around.

The Philosophy Of Photography section is far more accessible than the similarly-named one on PNet (which strikes me as one of the most mind-numbing, navel-gazing bore-fests I've ever found - I never got further than half way through the first paragraph of any thread before I started internally screaming at the poster to cut the crap and go take some pictures).

For me, RFF is a good forum overall - enjoyable atmosphere, and a clear bias towards rangefinders, which means one is amongst folks with a similar interest. Good place to talk about the hobby.
 
I enjoy rangefinder photography, have since I bought my first RF in 1969.

I like to promote it among others, and RFF is a good venue for it.
 
I use Leica, Olympus, Nikon, Canon, Contax, Konica, Minolta, Kodak Retina, Kodak Signet, Zorki, Nicca, Leotax, Tanack, Pentax, Fujica, and Polaroid.

What did I leave out...
