Photography is a really powerful kind of art. People always depended on the visual information, as 80% of information is received through eyes. We (people) always drew pictures to leave some legacy after we're gone, to tell a story which can be not just told, but also seen. When photography appeared we got one more way to leave some plausible proof of our(or somebody's) dwell on the Earth. We informed generations about happiness which every day brings, warned them about dangers they will find in our world.
But nowadays some people start to forget what is photography. It becomes so common that sometimes we make pictures not on purpose, but by accident. They don't pass any energy, don't make any sense. We use them just to give kind of report to ourselves that our life is full of impressions, fun, friends. Some show their photos looking for the glory, acknoledgement from people, money... As I think, these are not purposes real photographer should follow, these are not purposes at all. We must leave something valuable in our collection, for example, our photo-biography, so grandchildren and their children could follow our life line and not to repeat mistakes of the past. In this way world could become better, be improved.
I, personally, always liked macro photography. It's about the world, which exists, but is hidden from us because of everyday bigger troubles. This is, probably, my favourite thing to do. With macro photography I can show people whole universes, which are hidden just under their nose. There is sense, idea and beauty in macro photography, it's more than just a picture.
So let's think "what" and what's more important "why" we want to picture. Next snapshop is yours...
