By taking a picture, the photographer usually does so with the intention of showing and telling.In this way, the photo taker is selfish, taking what she wants.
I probably take pictures to remember; its bonkers to experience all the feelings and memories an old picture can evoke.
But also: truly living a life is done BEST when life is appreciated, mostly accomplished through the heightened awareness of one's presence and reaction to everything that comes. By taking a picture and showing it, my telling is that of holding still a moment in time to allow the viewer some objectivity to take a step back and recognize it as a meaningful slice of life. And by way of the viewer reacting to that moment in life, the hope is that she can better engage in appreciation of living a life.
