WHY DO YOU TAKE PICTURES?

19/01/2008 11:10

Go to the Home Page to take part in our latest poll - What is the main reason you take pictures?

Martin Parr (interviewed in this week's issue) thinks AP readers are a bit small minded - and that you all only take pictures to recreate photos and photographic styles you have seen before.

Is he right? And does he understand what motivates amateurs to take pictures? Are you striving for artistic greatness, or do you simply enjoy the action of pressing the shutter button? Many enthusiasts use photography to help them enjoy other hobbies, and others to simply record life events and occasions. Which category do you fit into?

Thanks for taking part.

Damien
