Here goes nothing?

Here is it?

Whatever.

The story

Why did I ever start photography?

I do not know.

Maybe I just liked it.

Maybe I liked the feel of a camera in my hands.

Maybe I liked the idea of freezing an image in time.

For an eternity.

The cityscapes.

The nature.

The portraits.

The animals.

All of the above and more.

No, I think I just enjoyed it.

I cannot explain why.

I feel it gives me an outlet for my creativity.

Just the same as writing gives me.

I think I started photography for the reasons I have stated above.

Do you really need a reason?

    I love to revisit my photographs. As if I froze time.
