Because it's free, easy to use, and high-quality, photography is now a fixture in our daily lives - something we take for granted.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One advantage of photography is that it's visual and can transcend language.
Photography is a kind of virtual reality, and it helps if you can create the illusion of being in an interesting world.
Photography gives you the opportunity to use your sensibility and everything you are to say something about and be part of the world around you. In this way, you might discover who you are, and with a little luck, you might discover something much larger than yourself.
And I'm a pretty avid photographer, I've been into photography for years now, so I try to spend some of my free time with that.
I just love the world of photography.
Digital photography and Photoshop have made it very easy for people to take pictures. It's a medium that allows a lot of mediocre stuff to get through.
Photography forces one out into the world, interacting with people and the environment. It flexes all those right brain, spatially-adept muscles.
To have an opportunity to get in front of a camera every single day is just priceless because it gets you closer and closer to being less self-consciousness in front of it and really being human and really making choices and standing by them.
I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting.
To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
