This is so, so good. It encapsulates everything I feel about photography – the words I could never put together.

I was going through TIME's most popular images (subjective), and the common trait was that it was all pieces of documentation/important events in history. It was a big turning point for me to realize photography on a personal level is about lifelong memories, over landscapes and `pretty` views. You alluded to it below.

"What was interesting was seeing my uncle and mother as children, and how they got on in their RV. This has always stuck with me, and for years I tried to not take any photos unless a person was in frame. (I’ve relaxed this quite a bit in recent years)."

Great post! Totally unrelated question, but what's the title of the gardening book shown in the first photo? :)
