What is the first reason *why* we make photos?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. The joy of the visual in embodied reality <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Firstly there seems to be an intuitive love we have in capturing the visually embodied world around us. I know for myself, I love the visual stimulation I get from seeing new places, experiencing new spaces, seeing and witnessing new people and things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The love and interest in the social <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another \u00e2\u20ac\u201d we love being around other people and human beings. There is nothing more interesting to us humans than other human beings. If photography wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a social endeavor (in regards to being out in public, around other humans, or to share photos with other humans, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think we would pursue photography). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
