An excellent question Doug. If one really knows what one wants out of something one
should be able
to condense it down to one brief sentence. The closest I can come, and it only covers
first base,
is:
I take photographs so I can collect things that are too big, too expensive, too
delicate, or
I enjoy the challenge of trying to take an excellent photogragh, from both
the technical and creative standpoint.
