“Why do you take photographs?”
I was talking to an entrepreneur earlier today who has built a popular iOS camera app. And he asked me why I take photographs.
For me, it really started with the iPhone 4. That phone had a stunning camera that went with me everywhere and anywhere. But the iPhone also came with all these other capabilities as well.
It’s embarrassing to admit but I would text or email while walking down the street. I was that guy. Or make phone calls walking down the street. I would walk and breathe but I didn’t see or feel my surroundings. My phone would often disconnect me from my surroundings.
Once I fell for making photographs, all of that changed.
I don’t walk down the street sending text messages. I open my eyes and look around. Taking it all in the best that I can and if I find something beautiful, or interesting, or some light beam anywhere or a smile, then I’ll make the photograph and keep it forever.
Why do you take photographs?

We need to be angry and empathize with the victims without being scared. Our fears would play right into the perpetrators’ hands – and magnify the power of their victory for whichever goals whatever group behind this, still to be uncovered, has. We don’t have to be scared, and we’re not powerless. We actually have all the power here, and there’s one thing we can do to render terrorism ineffective: Refuse to be terrorized.
