@dotremain What a good thing to think about…
I would list these things as the reasons why I take photos:
1: Ultimately to glorify God by using my gifts and talents for Him
2: To capture and preserve the beauty I find everyday
3: To save precious memories for years and generations to come
4: To fulfill the desire God has given me to explore and travel
5: To enjoy life more by looking specifically for the good things in the world
6: To be a shining light and witness of God to others in the photography world through the silent speech of my photos
