Photography

My Φιλοσοφία1 of Photography
I'm am amateur photographer-- so the only reason I take pictures is because I enjoy it. I enjoy it because it encourages me to look around more carefully, to make a study, and later to second-guess.

1 "I do not understand Greek too well," remarked the giant.
"No more do I," said the philosophical maggot.
"Why then," asked the Sirian, "do you quote Aristotle in Greek?"
"Because," replied the scholar, "one should always quote what one does not comprehend at all in the language one understands least."
from Micromegas, Francois-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
