There are many reasons to not have kids, but I think the major reason why people decide not to have kids is out of fear, or, that it will hinder their happiness.

However, now that Seneca is one year seven months old, I can easily say that he has elevated my happiness by at least 1000X. He has made me more creative, innovative, and curious and playful about the world.

Also, Seneca has made me far more photographically productive. Both in shooting photos of him, and the world around us, Seneca loves to go on walks and hates being indoors. Once again, I am more productive and prolific as a photographer after Seneca.

If your passion is photography, and you’re on the fence about having kids, have kids.
