Re: Why do you take/make photographs

2007-07-03 by michaelrosensf

Reading the responses, I conclude that they're all from people who take their camera with 
them where they go and photograph what they come across. This might be on a daily trip 
to the market or a carefully planned and provisioned trek in, say, Yosemite. I operate 
differently, so perhaps my point of view might be interesting to the group.

I create a situation where magic can happen and then I work it

1. In response to my challenge to do important, original and excellent work - with no 
excuses;

2. To leave the world better than I found it;

3. As a means to meet interesting people;

4. To have fun;

5. Because I must.

Hope that doesn't come across as too sophomoric, but it is what it is.
