There are a trillion forms of self-expression in art. So why do we choose photography?
Photography as the ultimate hybrid between art and technology
I’ve always been fascinated with technology, computers, and the internet. It seems that photography is the ultimate synthesis between technology and art-creation.
Impatience as a virtue
Another idea:
I love photography because it is instantaneous. I don’t like to wait. I love instant feedback!
Photography as the ultimate direct form of art-creation. The amount of visual information you can create in a sub-second is phenomenal. Photography to directly capture certain impressions and experiences you get from reality.
Share-ability
Photos (digital photos, JPEG) as (currently) one of the easiest formats to share artwork. JPEG photos ‘scale’. You can copy them infinitely. You can share them infinitely. JPEG photos have wings.
