Photography is paying attention. I enjoy the moment better because I am paying more attention to the details and not being distracted by external forces. When you pay attention you will find yourself looking deeper into the scene, subject and light.
Your Photography is better when you have an interest in your subject. Wanting to take images of your subject is a lot better than being bored and just going through the motions. Photography shouldn't take away from your interest in your subject it should enhance your interest and make you more willing to take your time and explore the scene. For me, photography enhances an experience of environment not distract from it. With interest your images will be better.
Do you go out looking to capture imagery or do you go somewhere and bring your camera along just in case something interests you? I don't travel and then shoot. I think about what I want to shoot before I travel. Of course it never works out exactly as planned and that is the beauty of an empty memory card, so many possibilities.
The unexpected moment is why we love image making. Let go and just take the photo, don't think. We have all experienced moments where we just pushed the shutter and didn't even think about exposure, composition and light.
