Thank you Robin Williams for helping make this point.... As Photographers....why do we create images? We dont look at and create images because its cute. We look at and create images because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering; these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But photography....beauty, romance, love; these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Walt Whitman: O me, O life of the questions of these recurring. Of the endless trains of the faithless. Of cities filled with the foolish. What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer: That you are here. That life exists and identity. That the powerful play goes on, and YOU may contribute a verse. I love that ending - That the powerful play goes on, and YOU may contribute a verse. What will YOUR verse be?
