Pointless or the point

Is it pointless, or the point?

Some see to street photography as a futile — and often unpredictable — record of banality.

Others see it as capturing life itself, an unfiltered record of existence, a mirror to an imperfect world.

Some see writing emails by hand as a waste of mental energy and time.

Others see it as staying sharp, showing up with care, preferring it over machines talking to other machines all day until we all run out of water.

It’s a good reminder that the point isn’t objective. It’s entirely, empirically subjective.

Changes how we look at so many decisions we make day to day.
