Why do I like taking pictures?

This question caused me to think. Because, for a long time, I found a strange phenomenon, that is, people who love photography are almost all men, and world-class photographers are almost all men. Why do you like photography? Maybe we need to find the answer from genes. I think this hobby is innate and there is no reason. Just as women like shopping and beauty, men like to play with cars, stereos, photography, fishing and radios. Generally speaking, a person can be regarded as the black sheep, but it depends on how he is defeated. Anyway, it is better to like photography than to like playing cards. Just because you like it, you don't have to think about making a living, so professional photographers are far less handsome than we thought. It is very painful and cruel to regard one's hobby as a career. If I like photography just to shoot beautiful women, it's too superficial. If so, I'd rather move a stool and sit on the street and watch directly. Why spend so much money on equipment? If you say why you like it, it is probably because of an instinctive pursuit of good things. I see, people who like photography will pursue perfection more or less. Their eyes are poisonous and they won't miss a chance. They often have more opportunities to discover beautiful scenes than those who have no interest in photography. Even a wisp of grass in the sun will drive them to stop and then lift the camera to take pictures. As long as they can improve the image quality, they can do whatever it takes, even if they pay 100% to improve 1%, they will not be stingy at all. This is called a fever. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Digging into the good side of life can at least convince people that the beautiful things in life are still much more ugly, and there must be something worth pursuing in life. Therefore, I like photography and will continue to like it.
