Yes, of course. I really like that article you linked to. But eventually one has to have an actual reason - one’s own reason - to continue taking photographs, or painting, or whatever. And that reason has to come from within, from one’s own response to something. I’ve been struggling with just that - what to photograph and why - for a long time. Comments @afre and yourself and others made over in this thread -
resulted in a long “reading and thinking” journey, focusing on photographers and artists in the immediate history surrounding Eggleston, and surprisingly enough (well, I was surprised) as a result I think I have a bit more focus on “what” to photograph, though whether I manage to actually capture that “what” remains to be seen.
