Photography
My Φιλοσοφία
1 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 more carefully at the subject, to make a study, and later to second-guess. If I were more patient and more talented, acrylic or charcoal would probably make for a better study, but I'm not. Or maybe I'm just too greedy, wanting to take in more than such seriousness would allow. So I take pictures. I can spend an hour thinking about a shot, even returning hours later waiting for the sun to reach the right angle. Or I can impulsively catch a shot in a second. I still get more from being there than if I had merely looked.

"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)
