Why Do You Love Photography?

Why do you love photography is the question we must always ask ourselves and ask others:

One of the first reasons I love photography — my joy and thanksgiving towards reality, being alive, and fond recollections of wonderful experiences I’ve had in the past. For example, cruising with Cindy:

The joy of visual arts

The same joy a child gets from painting or drawing. I have an endless fascination with visual arts, and photography is my tool to make visual art:

The joy of composition

Sketching my compositions as fun!

Remembering what I did

I’ve been spending much time looking through my photos from last year, and I’m amazed how I forgot 90%+ of what I did the prior year. Without photography, I wouldn’t remember. And apparently memory was the goddess of the muses and divine inspiration.

Theory: the more we remember, the more we can remain inspired in our artwork?
