I have asked myself this recently and I am reading a book that among other things, promises to “ and finish with how to find your purpose in photography.”

That is a bold claim and something I have asked myself more than once. There is no single answer of course, because it is subjective subject.

So I am curious, what do readers here say in response to “What is your purpose in photography?“


I would like to get better at taking interesting, tack sharp, well composed pics. Maybe sell a few, also.

God & an Old Timer Knife

Cool & true story, please read. Sunday, March 3rd, 2024

Last summer I took down a long section of barbed wire fence on our property. Later on I noticed that I was missing a small pocket knife that I always carry. It’s very small, closed it comes in at 2 ¾ inch. I liked it because it did almost all the jobs I needed it to do and it didn’t take up much room in my pocket.

I looked all around the house and in all our chairs – nothing. Then, I figured I might have lost it while kneeling down and unhooking all the strands of barbed wire from the T-posts.

After I had taken the fence down I mowed the grass and weeds short along the stretch where the fence had been. So, I went out and looked back and forth along that section several times finding nothing.

That section is along the edge of our property on the perimeter that I always walk with our dogs. Every time I walk them I go slow along there looking down, back and forth searching for the knife.

Today I did the same thing because the snow is gone, the grass is tamped down from the winter’s snow and hasn’t started to grow yet. I got about ¾ of the way through that area and stopped. Again, nothing. This time, I started to pray. I talk with God a lot but I had never actually taken the time to mention the knife. So I prayed something like this, “Lord, I know that little knife is pretty insignificant, but I really liked it, and if I lost it in this area, please help me to find it.” Simple, short.

I opened my eyes, took two steps, looked down and there it was off to my left about two feet away. It was rusted and open with the small blade out. Coincidence? I don’t think so!

Picture one is the fenceline.
Two is the Old Timer knife.
Three is it after cleaning it off.
Four is the Old Timer compared to the other one my grandfather had given me, yellow and though still small, it takes up a lot more room in my pocket.

Moral of the story – Always ask for God’s help FIRST, no matter how insignificant you think the problem might be.

Second trip to Yosemite recently. Specifically to shoot the famous Firefall event, which happens 2n and 3rd week every February. With only 50% snowfall and weather issues, I was feeling it was unlikely to happen. I got in position 6 hours early to make sure I had a spot. It was scary with on and off cloud cover most the day. But I hung in there to the end with hundreds of not well over a thousand photographers. The sky opened as the sun was settimg at just the right angle to create the glow in the falls and was able to use all 12 min of shooting time.

My uncle always said that if he couldn’t take his money with him, he wasn’t going. Good buy.

I'm Larry, a hobbyist photographer new to the Ugly Hedgehog forum. I first started my hobby in the Air Force (1971 - 1974) but I didn't like messing around with the photo developing work. I restarted my hobby when digital cameras were introduced. I also happened to be living in Warsaw, Poland working as a Peace Corps MBA business advisor (1995 - 1997). I continued to work in Warsaw teaching university MBA student until 2014 when I returned to Portland

My hobby got a kick start when a Polish woman I knew asked me to do shoot for photos she planned to submit to Playboy. The magazine later featured her in a pictorial essay.

I contiue with my hobby with a need to build my fairly empty portfolio. I specialize in female nude art and glamour photography.

Great shot, KT. I agree with John. I was never a Ford guy but that '55 model here is one of the best looking cars of that whole era.


Totally agree!
