DAB Photography Online
Not long ago, I heard about and joined this UK-based website, DAB Photography Online – Bringing Disabled and Able-Bodied Photographers Together. I have spent some time over the last week learning to navigate the site and to post to it. At first, I though it might replicate much of what Flickr does for me. Now that I have had a chance to take a deeper look, I find an important, though subtle difference. Flickr is primarily a photo-sharing site. The groups, comments and discussions add to Flickr’s value, but it is designed to host and organize lots and lots of its members’ photos.
DAB, on the other hand, is not about hosting photos. The main focus at DAB is the discussion forums, where individual photos can be posted, discussed and dissected. All the photos posted, however, are hosted over on Flickr, on Photobucket or some other photo-sharing site. DAB has some other features, besides the forums, such as a blog service and some articles, but these are very secondary to the discussions. So far, the DAB folks have been very welcoming and shared some nice thoughts on the photos I have posted. So far as I have noticed, the level of discussion has not been too technical and the level of photography has been that of good hobbyists (not unlike me), making DAB a pleasant, rather than intimidating, meeting place for photographers of all abilities.
