| I love photography and I will always love it, I love art and I will always love it, I like to paint and I like to illustrate, and I really don't know what I should go for first. So I am trying to find a middle point where I can combine them all together. I am still searching until I find a direction I can relate with. But photography alone is not enough for me. |

| Well, first of all it lets me be creative even though I don't have the "artistic skills" of drawing or painting. Second of all, it is similar to hunting in that you wait and wait and try and try until you finally get that perfect shot... And then from there you always try to do one better.... |

I came here because searched like photography, how to express that I like photography.
It's a lot of fun, I like taking nature pictures, animal photos, people. I'm not a positive person, usually feel sad, only when I take some photos, my mind relaxed, so I like photography. Then connect the data cable to my PC, look at what I have shot, smiles when I see some successful shots, some good memory, I am a nostalgic person, sometimes when I'm free, just want to look at my previous shots, thinking something randomly, that's too much memories. |

As I mentioned on my profile, My favorite photo is always the next one.
I enjoy being able to share the world as I find it with people because the photos touch people and we can share a human connection through the photographs.
I'm also a gear junkie, and love old glass, old cameras, lenses that aren't supposed to fit, but can be made to work ect.
My fav glass is about 100 yrs old now and it still rocks in the digital age. |

I love the smell of darkroom chemicals... if you sit there for 12 hours or more you start feeling oh so good...
Kidding :)

I loved reading through this old thread......some real soul-baring amongst some photogs I really admire.
There's just something about this thing that's intensely visceral for me. I can always go back and relive the experience simply by clicking a thumb. I love the way I can project the impression of what I saw with my own personal spin on it via composition & processing. I love to share my world as well, and what better way? I tried to justify and validate the passion that I have for photography by generating income, but I hated doing the paid jobs because I wasn't doing it for me. Somehow for me, shooting something for someone else, that they wanted, on their schedule, for money, took almost everything out of the experience for me. It's like it violated the purity of the expression for me, or some such idyllic vision I have of what I do for me with a camera.
Yet nothing gives me greater satisfaction than screening up an image on my monitor for someone, watching their eyes widen, and hearing a low, almost reverent, "Wow....".
I hope I'm leaving a worthy legacy of who I am for my daughter, too.

| I can hide behind the camera, you can't do that with a beard nowadays. |

I don't like photography
I don't like looking through hundreds pictures
and editing for hours;
or pushing a button on a box
then composing that box in a 3D world
not when there is something always better in the next shot
I don't like looking at gear
or always browsing for that next lens.
it might make me better.
but I don't
talk about photography
i don't like explaining
or speculating
except the person next to me, I like
when they see something in a way I did not
but that has little to do with photography. |
