Top Ten Reasons - I enjoy Photography256180
I have enjoyed photography most of my life. Sometimes I made money, sometimes I did not. I put thousands of hours into a Carl Kruse on National Geographic website that has certainly not made me a dime, though it consumes myself, often filling our every waking considered. So the question comes up, why do I place in so much time on something that has not helped me rich, or popular, or even supported my family?
The answer to that query, like most, is probably diverse for each of us. But if you are at a point, or ever get to a place where you find yourself inquiring "why bother"? Maybe this list can help spark an answer to suit your needs.
1 . Photography can relieve stress. It gives the excuse to be outdoors, to hike, to explore, and to fill your current lungs with good, clean fresh air. While you concentrate on other things, your own personal problems just appear to fade away.
2 . Photography expands the imagination. It can be your muse, your inspiration, even a starting point for additional creative endeavors. It can help you to see the world and people in a completely new way.
3. Photography can be a spiritual knowledge. The rush of rising a mountain or the magic of capturing baby's first grin helps put the planet in perspective. Touching the hearts of others is great... yet touching your own, places you on the path to everlasting enlightenment.
4. Photography is a means of connection. Yet more than that, this is a means of acquiring information. Documentation, entertainment, and also revelation all come from being able to "See" provided of view.
5. Photography can contact the hearts associated with others. Whether you are trying to raise money with regard to "starving kids" through Africa or wanting to save an "endangered species" in Ak, nothing can make friends faster than great photography.
6. Pictures can be a great career. Imagine being paid to go to far off places, to meet beautiful individuals, to see things most people only dream of. To find that level, I must know all I could about the art. Thus whether I have attained there or not, I need to keep learning more.
7. Photography may build self esteem. Kind comments on your work, opinions, input all let you know you're doing anything worth wild. When you might take someone who feels as though a "nobody" and make her look like a Empress, there is no greater sense in the world (for each of you)!!
8. Pictures offers you the chance of immortality. Photos around the cover of Existence, Time, or Countrywide Geographic magazines is visible by Billions of people. If you can move their particular editors, you can move the world.
9. Pictures can unite your family. From baby images to high school dances, to marriage as well as beyond, nothing helps you relate or attract closer to someone as compared to seeing what they are through. It helps you hold onto the memories when everyone else is gone.
10. Photography is my gift from God. It is the responsibility to use the gifts I have been given. It's what I carry out, it's who I am. Like most gifts coming from God, its goal is to be shared with the world. How can I share what I don't understand? How can I create my talents develop without actively seeking out more knowledge as well as better understanding?
Certainly this listed is influenced by my own beliefs and existence experiences; however... setting up a "Top Ten" listing of why YOU love photography, might just be the greatest surprise you could give yourself this holiday season. Give yourself a reason to believe you can succeed and you may.
