Photography is one of the various things I'm interested in but have absolutely zero in-born talent (you'll see examples below from my Instagram profile). Despite that awareness, I'm happy to celebrate World Photography Day with everyone else and have compiled a bunch of good links and media that can help inspire/educate those who are getting into it.

Note: Photography is also one of those hobbies/skills that attracts a lot of people, quite a few of whom have strong opinions that can lead you astray very quickly. Take most of what I've posted here with some question, since I tried to include things that seem pretty reputable. Running a search on videos and links was actually a little frustrating, since many of them veered into "Dunning-Kruger dudes territory." Please view these as jumping-off points, not the end-all be-all.
