As a returnee (today!)to slr photography, I haven't stopped to think why. But without considering the matter, I always knew I would return. I could have accomplished something with my voice (singing), my pen and I once did a credible half marathon, but photography hit the spot.
I used to be most active (photographically) when travelling (landscapes), and particularly in political campaigning (mis-spent youth), - sort of junior league photojournalism.
I remember the adreneline rush from snatching or 'capturing' those unique moments that exited crowds and oratory can produce. I guess it was an outlet for my supressed 'hunting' instincts. Like bidding on eBay for the camera in the first place!
