1. As a measure of self expression. I also collect art and cant paint - 
this is something I can do - the classic failed painter as photographer. 
I also get a lot of pleasure in using finely made objects - cameras, 
pens, watches.
2. Anything that catches my fancy - people, wildlife, places of worship, 
macro, nature, travel etc.etc.
3. As I dont do this for a living, it depends on my mood and my desires 
on the day - and I tend to follow my instinct when photographing.
