What is the joy of photography? Why do we do it? What is the purpose? Does it even have a purpose?
I was happily oblivious to these thoughts, and the folks over at the Digital Photography Life podcast ruined it all for me. No, it was a good thing; we need to reevaluate the whys of life every once in a while. Scott and Michael, the hosts of the podcast, set “The Joy of Photography” as the theme for their next contest. As I started thinking through how to portray that, I had to think more and more about what the joy really was. Was there any joy? Well, of course, yes.
