"You are what you do" .
- C. J. Jung.

So I like taking pictures.

I don't go looking for them - they look for me.

When they find me I try not to let them down - sometimes I do, sometimes I do OK...

I can't say what draws me - colour, yes; shape, certainly; textures, yep; light - definitely. But there's something more...

"πάντων γὰρ ὅσα πλείω μέρη ἔχει καὶ μή ἐστιν οἷον σωρὸς τὸ πᾶν ἀλλ᾿ ἔστι τι τὸ ὅλον παρὰ τὰ μόρια, ἔστι τι αἴτιον, ἐπεὶ καὶ ἐν τοῖς σώμασι τοῖς μὲν ἁφὴ αἰτία τοῦ ἓν εἶναι".
- Aristotle.

(traditionally translated as "A Whole is Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts”).

And there you (unhelpfully) have it...

"The pictures are the pictures"
