Hi, my name is Dmitrijs, and I am addicted to shooting. I just can't control this urge to get that feeling of excitement and accomplishment that I receive from walking around and finding that special moment. And I keep going back for it.
I know, there must be a lot more people on here who might feel the same, so I decided to create a place for us to share this "disease".
Remember, this isn't the "gearholics anonymous"!

Hi, I'm Chris and I can tell you people on the subway don't like my constant necessity to shoot their daily commutes. I don't know what it is about the subway, but it's definitely my favorite location for shooting. The nice thing is you don't have to walk around at all, new people are continuously coming your way.

The biggest problem with taking all these photos is the organization of the keepers and the diligence to delete the crap.

I'm pretty good and tagging everything when I import, but the odd time I forget, I could end up wasting an inordinate amount of time trying to locate a particular image.
