What appeals to you about the art of photography?

It is a popular, immediate, universal art form. Anyone can and dares to practice it, from amateurs to professionals and artists. Photography generates emotion and questions. It bears witness, challenges, and feeds the imagination of the viewer. Photography can reveal the timeless through the present moment, the invisible through the visible, the universal through the particular. It's magical!
