Why Share Your Photos?

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

\\n
Why share your photos?
\\n
\\n

Some thoughts:

\\n

Spark 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
