> A. Why do you photograph?

To show people what I see.
To pay the bills.
To capture something beautiful and unique, that will never exist in  
exactly the same way again.
To capture light.
To show people in a way that shows their character.
To make a difference.

> B. What's your primary subject matter?

People, places, things. Events, visits, buildings, installations,  
nature. I'm a working professional.

> C. Why?

See "A" above.
And, because my employer needs photographs of a given subject.
