Those who cannot write quote someone who can say it better:

Paradoxically, photographers must also face the threat that their vision may one day be denied them. Their capacity to find their way to art, which is their consoloation – to see things whole – may fail for an hour or a month or forever because of fatigue or misjudgement or some shift in spirit that cannot be predicted or understood or even recognized until it has happened past correction.

Robert Adams, “Why People  Photograph”

Other animals do not need a purpose in life. A contradiction to itself, the human animal cannot do without one. Can we not think of the aim of life as being simply to see?

John Gray,  “Straw Dogs”

Photography is not brain surgery, it’s fairly simple.
