What is photography to you?

Just like the title reads. What is photography to you? A hobby, a job, a head ache :rofl: ?

For me it use to be hobby but has slowly become more. As it becomes "more" I have noticed I don't get out as much for my own personal recreational photography. Have you noticed that?

It's a hobby for me, and has dwindled down to a very minor hobby at that with a baby in the house and work. I have managed to get some cute shots of my son though :-)

I love landscape photography because it captures the beauty of God's creation

Photography is a blessing & a passion to me. Up until about 8 years ago I saw little to no beauty in this world.... then little "miracles" started occurring.... I am amazed and in awe at being able to now capture & share what I see through my eyes.....

I believe that there is an explanation for everything, so, yes, I believe in miracles. ~Robert Brault
