This is nothing more than a vague musing / suggestion...

Do you think there is enough support on VBF for an amateur (digital) photography forum?

The Photography Contests (which are excellent by the way) are quite popular and there's an increasing number of ChitChat threads about photography. It's something accessible to all forum members ('social' members as well as experienced programmers (which is VBF's bread and butter) would be able to contribute equally).

Plus given the nice, shiny new forum software we can upload our photos to our albums.

Just a thought
