There is an interesting post over at The Digital Photography School that has definitely sparked a revolution in my head: The One Question You Should Ask Yourself Before Taking Any Picture.

I did a quick check of The {Newbie} Photographer’s About page, half hoping that there was an answer to that question there. Disappointment is what I found – I had not mentioned the reason I take pictures!

This blog has existed for quite awhile now, perhaps two or even three years. It’s non-success (very little traffic, very few posts) in the blogging world should probably be attributed to one thing: the goals I set for the blog were skewed. I had set off hoping to build a treasury of technical resources for the newbie photographer when  I should have aimed for something that was closer to my heart: to provide a venue to share our love for photography. Along the way I may share tutorials or links to great tutorials on photography, but ultimately, I should blog about why I always feel like being a newbie in this field (and truly, I am), and why that is just fantastic. This blog must be about why I love capturing moments, and the many possible ways it can be done.

This question will also guide me as I embark on Project 365 for my Project Life in 2012.

I don’t have a profound answer just now, but I intend that to be on my next post. I would also like to hear from YOU – why do you take photos? or particular pictures? Leave your answer in the Comments box.
