[QUOTE="Schnick, post: 564361, member: 40126"] For me, it's trying to share the feelings and experiences with my family / friends. I take my wife and girls out to quite a lot of beautiful places around England. Fountains Abbey, Aysgarth Falls, Northumberland National Park, and so on. It's not so easy to put into words the things you see whilst you're at these places. Plus, I'm not much of a wordsman. Taking a photo gives you that extra power to overwhelm someone with the same thing you've seen. One of my work colleagues has a rolling desktop wallpaper of places I've taken pictures of, he likes them that much. And my sister, who is disabled and doesn't get out much, loves seeing my photos. She's into photography herself so she appreciated them that bit more. For me personally, I like the calm of going out and shooting. Walking around beautiful locations, looking for that special spot that just screams to be captured in print. ...although I am quickly running out of living room wall space for new prints! [/QUOTE]
