I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that the majority of the people reading this have taken a picture at some point in their life. I'm also going to walk out a little further on that branch and make the conclusion that you are, at this point in your life, interested in photography. This doesnt mean that you are a professional photographer. It doesn't mean that you feel a great calling as an artist to use a camera as your tool. It doesn't mean that you even call yourself a photographer (which is a different topic for a different day.) To put it simply, you like to take pictures, right?
My question is why?
