Why I love photography so much:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Has there really been any joyful photographers in the past?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My suspicion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All photographers in the past are generally too serious; they strive too hard to be taken as ‘serious’ artists, and thus lose their child-like na\u00c3\u00afvet\u00c3\u00a9 towards photography. Just how fun, interesting, and joyful it is!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What are you aiming for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My aim:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make photos which I consider beautiful and spirited. Photos which lift me up!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
