i'm not sure really. i've not really analysed my reasons for taking a photo. it varies from photo to photo, i think. sometimes it's a feeling i get when looking at a scene or it could be that i like the subject or i'm taking photos to try and improve my ability or i've made a decision in an instant that something looked interesting. i don't put too much thought into the "why". all i do know is that i like doing it...lol

Pictures appear to me, I shoot them.   Elliot Erwitt
