The term 'Serious Photographers Of Railroad Related Subjects' Is meant to give us an identity and to separate ourselves from the guys on the newsgroups that think locomotives have steering wheels, and who think a good picture of a train is one that shows the hood door spacing and door latches. There are all types of photographers on this list, and most of us are interested in photography as well as the subject matter, but we are not a 'cult', nor do we have a distinct stereotype. The 'Serious' part of the SPORRS acronym is not to be taken too seriously, however this is not your typical group of 'railfans'. >I'm not great, but I'm learning, >and as a subscriber to this list I've picked up ideas on how to get >better.
