about photography? LOL What I mean to say is, why photography? What is it that keeps you interested in it? For those who make a living off of it, I understand......although this question probably still pertains. Is it the mere beauty of a subject that you feel you need to capture? Is it the challenge to get "the shot" that drives you? Is it the sharing of such images that keeps the fire burning, so to speak? For me, it appears to be all of the above, although I am far too new to this game to challenge myself for the "shot" LOL. Not to say that I don't strive for a great shot, rather I haven't the experience, yet, to make such statements. I just really enjoy the beauty of a captured moment....and as they say, "it's in the eye of the beholder". Maybe it's the fact that a single image, examined, makes me appreciate this world a bit more. Hell, I was in an alley way the other day......amongst the rats and garbage....and saw the sunlight shine upon a building that the alley way was leading to, and it was a "moment" that I wanted to capture. Why? I don't know LOL. It was a "feeling" that I tried to capture in an image. It wasn't that good of a photo LOL, but I still managed to get a piece of the situation for myself. Silly I suppose, but I'll be damned if that dark, dingy alley way didn't have a beauty all of it's own. Anyway, just curious as to what you guys and gals think, from a philosophical point of view?
Hey, is there a "show your alley way shot" section on here? LOL
