Why do I shoot what I shoot?

Via Rob Haggart,

“I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.”

My comment on the post in reply to a comment about “shooting what you see”,

I also “shoot what I see”, but I switch between using it defiantly (a declaration of my style) and meekly (an excuse for what I shoot).

It’s an unresolved conflict; maybe that’s the point?
