Art \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the act of expressing something from the deepest recesses of your soul outwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the question is\u00e2\u20ac\u201d what do you want to express from within you, outwards?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Express your thoughts <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For me writing is merely a means for me to express my thoughts. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a good writer, nor do I even consider myself a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153writer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. The label never interested me much, as I just like to share ideas. Perhaps I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m an \u00e2\u20ac\u0153ideator\u00e2\u20ac\u009dwho uses the written medium to express my thoughts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why I prefer writing above all<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For myself, I like to write (even more than talking on video or recording myself) because there is a different cadence to my rhythm of thinking and expressing, and also more peaceful contemplation which comes with writing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the goal isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t to write for the sake of writing (the bias within the sphere of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153writing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d). Perhaps photography should also be the same: we make photos to express something about ourselves, what we experience, or what we see. We don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just photograph for the sake of it\u00e2\u20ac\u201d we photograph for some higher purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why I prefer photography over video or film<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
