I love taking pictures. even if it's just something around my apartment or something, if I think it might be a good picture, my camera comes out and a snapshot is taken! There's just something about it that seems to make it therapeutic, similar to writing or dancing or something like that. It helps me be creative and it helps me express myself.

Yes. I think that all art is theraputic. I also love photography. I really wish I could afford a nicer camera. I just have a point and shoot camera, but I want to get a nicer one. There is so much that my camera cant capture. I'm saving up, but it'll be a while. How 'bout u? Is photography just a hobby or are u pro?

I'm not studying art as such, but I joined the photography club at my school in order to get better. And I would like to maybe sell a few prints.

Yes I know what you are talking about, it has been a down time in my life and two weeks ago I bought a really good camera and it is good therapy for me too, I love going to different places and taking photos, I went to the Museum the other day and I really had a great time with my new camera....

It's always exciting to have a new camera and to try it out. The camera that I have isn't new and I'm still excited to bring it with me.

Photography can be a wonderful form of expression. I also think that it can be very theraputic. I think that anything that you enjoy as a past time can be theraputic because it is relaxing. I also like to take pictures. I'm not sure if I find it theraputic, but I love getting the film developed or the pictures printed. I think I use photography more as a way to capture memories.
