> A. Why do you photograph?
To show people what I see.
To pay the bills.
To capture something beautiful and unique, that will never exist in
exactly the same way again.
To capture light.
To show people in a way that shows their character.
To make a difference.
> B. What's your primary subject matter?
People, places, things. Events, visits, buildings, installations,
nature. I'm a working professional.
> C. Why?
See "A" above.
And, because my employer needs photographs of a given subject.
