Photography is Our Addiction

A thought while making my morning coffee:

I don’t need to ‘force’ myself to drink coffee. Instead … my addiction for it dictates my activity and behavior.

What if we could apply this line of thinking to our photography?

My beautiful addiction

Photography as my beautiful addiction. If I see something … I MUST photograph it. I cannot help it!

We are photo addicts.

This is our motivation!
