Human photography essay

Why Make Photos?

For me the primary reason to make photos:

I have a poor memory, and when I look at my old photos, it resparks great joy in my heart and breast!

Perhaps then for us photographers, forgetfulness or having a poor memory is a great blessing in disguise!

Also perhaps our forgetfulness of our past memories and photos gives us motivation and reason to look back at our old photos and re-relish in them!
