I think people photograph for all different reasons, I think photography is a personal thing. Some people might want to convey a message, some might want to capture a moment that they will never forget it. Some people might just love the photography process and the technicalities of it. So to be honest, I do not know exactly why people take pictures; if you were to survey a bunch of people I bet you would get a broad range of answers. Some people want to show off their photos, some do not show them to anyone, it could be a personal satisfaction.
I started taking pictures in the 9th grade when I first got a digital camera. At first it was for memories, I wanted to remember every event from high school and every night with my girlfriends. I was known as the camera girl because I had pictures from everyday. I would upload on a live journal so everyone could see. I also liked the satisfaction of everyone wanting to see my pictures. Now that I am older I take pictures for other reasons, I still take them for memories, but also to capture beauty in the environment. I like to take pictures of landscapes and sunsets. I like to remember the natural beauty of the environment and capture it.
