WHY?

This is the only question!

• Why choose film over digital?
• Why choose the subject matter I did?
• Why did I even choose to do a Fine Art Photography degree?
• Why did I choose the media of photography to express myself as an artist?
• Why do I think I'm an artist?
• Why do I still want to take it even further and do a Masters?
• Why do I enjoy wading through book after book of other photographer's images?
• Why do I spend hours loading my film, preparing my equipment, keeping an eye on the weather, dashing out and taking the images, coming home to prepare the film for processing, wait for 4 days to get the negs back - only to find that the images are shit and I have to start again?
• Why did I look forward to Contextual studies?
• Why did I enjoy spending 6 months of my life writing a dissertation?
• Why do I enjoy spending 5 hours in the darkroom to end up with a print that I know I'll have to go back the next day to do properly?
• Why is it only recently I've started to enjoy looking at my final prints rather than watching crap on the TV?
• Why do I prefer structure to chaos?
• Why do my parents look at my images then look at each other, smile and then look at me and say "thats nice"?
