I chose to write this paper on photography because it’s something I’d be happy to do for the rest of my life as a career. It’s not a career where you have to do something a certain way. Everyone has their own touch when it comes to photography and there are all sorts of photography fields you can go into so you’re not tied down to taking pictures of just one thing all the time.
