For us online photographers, sharing our photos is our lifeblood. But the question:

\n

Why share your photos?
\n

\n

Some thoughts:

\nSpark joy in yourself, spark joy in others.\n

For me it seems to be simple ethics:

\n

I want to share with others what brings joy to myself.
\n

\n

For example, Seneca said something like:

\n

If you could give me all the world\u2019s knowledge and wisdom but I couldn\u2019t share it with anyone else, I would refuse it.
\n

\n

Perhaps in a similar vein:

\n

If you could give me the power to photograph, but I couldn\u2019t share the photos with anyone else, I would refuse the gift.
\n

\n

Thus I feel a strong step towards more sincerity in our photography:

\n

Know that sharing photos does indeed bring us joy, and can share joy with others.
\n

\n

So when it comes to sharing photos, think to yourself:

\n

Why *NOT* share my photos?
\n
