Photography... What Does it Mean to You?

Some of you may have been a part of photography for so long that you don't know how it made anything different. I got my first camera (Pentax Spoto F) from my Grandpa way back when I was a child and ever since then, the world has looked like art waiting to happen. It felt like I just got glasses or something, and my eyes worked the way they were supposed to. The world is so beautiful, and my camera is my means of preserving that beauty. What I personally like so much about photography is how the little frame into which you put only a little part of the big whole can enhance that little part, give it a life of its own, a meaning of its own. You can pick out beauty, make it seen where others would say: "What on earth is he/she on about, why does he/she want to take a photo THERE?", to only later say about the photo itself: "Hey now, THAT was there? Never noticed!" But as a photographer you begin to notice, and yes, indeed, you "see" differently, you get "new eyes". And I find those "new" eyes are a very valuable addition to my life. They make it broader, fuller, more complete.

I have always appreciated other's photos but have always wonderd if others feel the rush in and excitement in seeing my own shots. Photography was a hobby I just fell into but nothing else I have ever done has made such an impact on how I view my surrondings. My girlfriend and friends think I'm crazy when I talk about how much I'm in love with the art of photography and often get board as a go on and on talking about a location I have found or a new camera I have aquired. I get great pleasure from shareing the beauty that photography has put into my life, I'd like to hear about how it has effected yours. What does photography mean to you?
