#. Photography allows me to manipulate the reality beyond the range of the human eye (filters, fisheye, long exposure, high-speed shutter, etc)
I will work that in, but probably a composite with the other creative lens.
Quote: I enjoy photography because it gets me out of the house and into nature. and I like showing friends and rellies where I've been and what I have been doing. Otherwise I would simply vegetate as I age.
Not that there's anything wrong with vegetating.

I enjoy balancing all the variables of an image to get desired results, or to capture some aspect of what is happening or existing in the 3d world. It really is a lot like a game.
Combined with the last one, maybe this concept is a "thing". Maybe "I like the combination of technical and artistic challenges."

Creating a connection to what I saw, sharing my experience with others.
Nobody is talking about "getting likes", but of course I'm not going to say that!
