Photography - A Quest for Beauty

Why are we compelled to take pictures?
 

 

Ready for April Flowers 

Why are we compelled to take pictures? There are so many reasons. We want to remember: an emotion, a face, a moment in time. We want to show: This is what the baby looks like! This is me sky-diving! This is what it looks like in Iraq. We want to share it all, the significant, and the trivial.

I take pictures for all of these reasons, but the most important reason is this: I'm a Beauty Junkie. I see beauty, and I want to keep it. I will go out and find it at any opportunity. I will turn to the right, walk backwards, squint, and try to make it even more beautiful. This is what I have to show for it:
