i pick brings me joy as primary choice but there are more things involved than just joy AFAIC; there's the desire to visualize in my mind the aesthetics of what I see and be able to capture that image onto pixels; the urge to document one's visual experience through one's daily life; the inner push to create a personal art based upon the tones, hues, textures, shapes, forms , elements provided by both nature (God) and humans.... Cheers ;-))

I voted "other". I am not driven to take photos. I gave it up in 1980 and didn't own a camera for 25 years. I will most likely give it up again.

In a world where I consider a lot of things ugly and unpleasant, I find it a joy to spot and register the gems. It is good therapy.

It's too bad there isn't an "all of the above" option, as I would've picked that. However, I picked "because it brings me joy" because, overall, that's what my photography hobby does for me. When I'm on a "shoot" all the cares and worries of the world disappear. As well, it's fun trying to recreate in pixels what my eyes see.

I was torn between Brings me Joy and Fulfills my need to Create. In the end I decided fulfilling my need to create also brings me joy, so joy has it! Cheers

I use photography as a form of narrative, not only to tell things I see in my own life, but to speak to certain social and spiritual issues important to me.

With the danger of repeating what has been said many time, I say joy is not only the result (sometimes there is frustration and disappointment too) but also what the creation process brings along the way.
