Photography isn't just a way of looking at the world; it's a way of experiencing life. As Joe McNally says, remember that all photos are a currency. You can make someone's day or break their world with a photograph, and photographers should remember that what they do is something very raw, emotional, and powerful. It would serve all photographers well to remember the power that we have in our hand with that camera. The best feeling in the world is to give someone a picture of themselves, and see their face light up when they say "wow... that's me???" -- there is no better feeling, and that's what I live for.
