About Concepts of Photography - jim_bob_blann's Flickr focus group!

What is it that makes you want to take the pictures of what you do? Why do you choose certain subjects over others and present them in certain ways? Or is it all just random selection??? This group is trying to look into the ways people define their photography and what it means to them because everyone here obviously loves taking pictures and it's a big part of our lives. But why do we do it? I'd love to see the images that sum up your concept of photography so that others can know how and why you do it. In summary, it's pretty broad! Discussions are very welcome!

Also, the feedback from this group could go toward my final year undergraduate research project so if you've ever had dreams of being in an academic paper then now's your chance :)

The only thing I really ask in this group is open discussion on why we do what we do. Feel free to create topics important to you to discuss with others to test other concepts. It could be fun to see where we all stand on this common form. Anyways, enjoy :)
