My question is not whether you want to buy something off an NFT site, but whether as a photographer, you are exploring the possibility of selling your photos on an NFT site. After all, photographers have been creating digital art all these years. So it's just a short step to selling them as NFT's.
I wrote the following a little further up. You piqued my interest in the "how-to" aspect, which I'm still looking into, which took me off to another rabbit hole of cryptocurrency mining...LOL

I'm not exactly sold on the idea of using an NFT on digital art or music. It does provide a chain of ownership for "something", but it doesn't prevent the reproduction of say a digital photograph or music. I do see them having a lot of value in a controlled environment where distribution is controlled by a decentralized service. The best example I found was the use of NFT for an online trading card games where you have a specific area of use and each NFT has a specific rarity (common through rare). Players can buy and sell these cards on an auction style system. The buyer can be assured that the trading card they are receiving is legitimate by tracing the block-chain back to the originator. Another great use that I guess is currently making some headway using NFTs in virtual worlds. Players can buy/sell property in-game and maintain proof of ownership to ensure the uniqueness of items.
I'm still not 100% convinced about all the current uses of NFTs, but it's a rabbit hole I'm finding myself diving into because it's a very interesting technology.
