1) It's one of the most sophisticated and pleasant ways to not be bored.
2) It's beautiful.
3) It's a place of autonomy. I am told where to walk, to use a turn signal at such a point, to pay this bill, to show up here, to pick this person up, to fulfill this obligation, to eat this food. When you really consider it, so much of our life is consigned to false decision, or decisions with little actual free choice. Life is full of challenges, but they are not challenges of my choosing, nor challenges where I set the barriers.
In photography, there are some technical hurdles, but most of the challenge before me are a lack or originality, vision, thought, or execution. So the amount of growth is entirely dictated by me. The dividends are huge, to me. So it's my own little haven away from the rest of the world. It's pure, it produces beautiful things, rendering a sense of accomplishment and growth.
4) It's nearly infinite in that you are just recording things in the world. So many things to record, in so many ways.
There are others, but I don't want to dominate the post.
