I like the ability to capture moments.
Pictures that maybe one day speak their own language, that maybe mean something to other people.
To catch the right moment... to press the shutter button... and to say: "Yeah, that'll be great!"
And then to see the sense of achievement and to see for myself how my pictures are getting better (hopefully at least :))

​

But make up your own "picture" ... (more of this on my FLICKR account)
