i want to purchase a domain name, the one i want isnt available.
however its available with .photos and .photography extension
never knew they existed... is there a problem with possibly using a non .com extension?

Who is going to search for 'MAP' to find YOU? People that want a photographer isn't going to search for your name. They are going to search for your specialty and most likely, your town.
