I don't have a scanner. And I'm not a subscriber--I honestly can't afford it at this time.
Plus I have an anxiety disorder, I don't show my work to anyone. I most likely will burn all of my photos eventually.

In my experience, I'm just one of many here on APUG who are happy to help others.

I let me subscription lapse some time ago: fading interest and lack of time for photography, compounded by a house move and no darkroom meant I wasn't spending much time here or contributing to the forum.
By coincidence, I subscribed again a few days ago. Feeling inspired a lot more this year, getting comfortable in a new (well 9 months old now) darkroom, and thanks to a generous donation of paper spending a lot of time refining technique and experimenting without financial constraints.
I've just uploaded my first gallery contribution since Nov 2009. The only one of my prints that's ever been on display in a gallery!
Glad to have gallery access again, for inspiration and pure browsing enjoyment of others work.

I joined in 2009 almost directly with a subscription, and by posting photos in the gallery. For quite a while I used the gallery much more than the forum, and still it is almost more important for me than the forum.
Not only the images are of high quality (which makes me think always twice until I decide to load up my own images, if they can keep up at least to some extent with this quality) but also the comments are in my opinion generally much more serious and useful for improving oneself than in other internet photo galleries - and critique is always formulated carefully and constructive.
It may be that this high comment quality in the gallery is also due to the required subscription. So it might useful if a "free trial gallery access" would be limited to viewing images and comments - but writing comments still require a subscription.

I probably post too many images, but sometimes I get comments about aspects of the image that I had never noticed and find this interesting.

Which can be a tough job, when some folks just want to hear a certain answer, or aren't prepared for something that will be difficult to do. But I think you're one of the most level headed and diplomatic ones on here, Matt. Always a pleasure to read your posts.
