Great initiative. Why don‘t you kick off this series by interviewing (and introducing) yourself first!?

it can be done, no problem. on the other hand i would like to be the person behind everything rather than to be "me! me! me! me first than the rest". but if this will help people to join and grow the community, why not?

I don‘t see it as a self-centered initiative. But as an opportunity to learn a bit about you and get an idea what the interview is all about… you can blame it on me when people think it is a selfish act… 😉

Interesting idea. Though some of us like to lurk as we do as surreptitious (had to look up the spelling of that one) street photographers so responding to your request might not necessarily accimpany interest in being interviewed or publishing photos. Fir example I lurk at Flak photo (which you may know about because he actively promotes a photo community) but don’t necessarily feel like joining in. Your take here is somewhat different and may prompt me to be more forthcoming.

tell you a secret: i didn't joined flakphoto, either; tho andy is doing great work there and his posts that are not community related are excellent.

so you stepping in or not it's totally up to you, whatever way you feel comfortable. there is also another option: wait a bit until i post interviews of 3-4 people and make up you mind then.

I have a substack page, but after 100 or so views it always tapers off. I simply miss the old days when you went to a gallery and left a portfolio, or some galleries had portfolio days. But nothing works like that anymore.
