The only way to make people care about your photo hobby, however, is to become great at it—and not just with Instagram filters, either. There are some proven ways to do so. You can take classes, buy books, or get a tutor. But here at the Daily Dot, we don’t promote the idea of doing anything offline, and it turns out that social news site Reddit has a plethora of photography resources.
