Why Photography?

Why do I take photos? .... it started out for documentation. I'm linear. I'm chronological. I like order. I started taking photos to document my life, the places I visit. I want to have prompts to help me remember. I've been afraid to take photos "just because" until recently. The advent of digital has helped. I don't like to waste. Taking photos "just because" felt like wasting when I used film. My first real attempt at taking photos "just because" I like the image, the feeling it evoked occurred during our recent visit to Hawaii. I'm afraid of water. So while the family ventured across a small river to explore, I stayed behind with my camera on the beach. I found these rocks and I spent the next bit of time playing around with composition.

I'm Blogging!

I've jumped into the blog pool and I'm a little scared. I don't like to share much, so this should be an interesting journey.
