Anyone else take pictures of things when they're about town?

I took some photos while I was in seoul, but honestly I've never understood the impulse to do so. I only took them because the guy I was staying with kept telling me to so I could "share and remember the trip"

Unless the thing is particularly interesting or amusing, I don't know why I'd take a picture of it. It's right there. I'm looking at it.

I usually only take pictures of things that really strike me. and there's a bit of a game in trying to capture what you find striking and transfer that to an image. Sometimes you fail, other times it comes out well

You are 100% right about it: I'm looking at it, not experiencing it via intermediary of viewfinder/lens,,,, smart phones made already narcissistic women hyper-narciss. Everyone thinks he's Answl Adams....

I like to photograph Brutalist architecture. But also I like to capture people who don't know they are being recorded. I just find it very fascinating. there are a few car parks around the cbd I use for this purpose. great views of surrounding streets and apartments. I took this the other day and liked it for its voyeurism. I know its not a particularly good photograph.

I also like photography because I use my now deceased grandfathers camera. its a simple digital not some hipster film bs and it makes me feel connected since my grandparents took it on holidays with them.

interesting how the pebbles seem to form lines towards the deer nice photograph. Is it supposed to be upside down?

Wow what if you printed the image on some color print paper then scanned it?

my friend at uni that does photography printed them for me for free, but she took a while to do it. I haven't printed myself in colour before but you could prolly get the same effect more or less with a filter; the paper is light sensitive
