What is this community for exactly? (lemmynsfw.com)

So I guess I'm wondering if this community is intended to be about photography, as in the discussion of photography, or if it's going to be like r/itookapicture was on Reddit. I absolutely don't think that we need to replicate what they did on that other site, but those were two very different places with very different purposes. They're both valuable, but I think that they're valuable in different ways and it might be good to separate them from each other in some fashion.

I guess it should be for photography more serious than "i took a picture" but I'm not gatekeeping content right now, let's just share images and build a community. Posts about photography, including photography blogs are welcome as long as you don't spam. I'm open to community suggestions.

I think it'd be good to put a few guidelines in place to shape the discussion away from the lowest common denominator. Even the very basics of asking posters to describe why they liked the photograph enough to post it is a nice, gentle nudge in the direction you're describing.
