On the topic of motivation

I thought a little more thoroughly about what we discussed today in class, on what motivates us to make photo stories. Personally, I think what it comes down to is the natural inclination of each person to inquire more into the ways and the nature of the human condition, in whatever the situation it may be. I think we try to find things that connect or relate ourselves to one another, or it could just be downright curiosity and the quest to explore. It's for a variety of reasons we choose to shoot what we shoot-- and what's important is not merely to bare witness to something and press click, but ultimately feel what you shoot.
