why do l do photography? .. well for me l would have to write a thesis on Art nature and the beautiful the mysterious, science, hunger for answers and knowledge and a biography... for me photography is a form of art in self expression ..a journey a camera a tool to achieve all this to the best of my ability..the challenge to learn that tool .. as an artist would oils canvas and a brush..a writer pen and paper, a carpenter his tools and grains of wood .l dont think technically.. l think poetically and creatively also think philosophically.. photography helps me escape and achieve answers capturing the beauty of the universe of nature, and seeing first hand the world we live in. when in full inspirational swing.. l like to take people away from the actually scene object and on a journey of inner discovery, a discovery of the beautiful, and some times to provoke the conscious,but do put all 5 questions you ask into place when doing photography...always looking for new discoveries to stimulate the intellect, and stimulating the creavtive ,the world is a completely different place through the eye of a lens...and thats the attraction also...love to study nature its habits its changes etc.. learning the instincts of wildlife etc.. just doing photography because l can isnt enough..
