(rhetorical?) questions

Yes I DID pick berries from the bushes in the forest and yes I DID eat them but no I didn't think about you until I wrote that sentence.
Is it the same for any of you when you pick up a camera? Or roll the film to the next frame? Do you see things through the camera which are not really there? Does the sound of the shutter make your ears prick up in a different way?
You know, when you see the world and you want to capture it, do you think that you can really capture what is there? Or do you want to capture something that you have assigned to the thing that you are capturing? Do you ever want to capture it just for the sake of it, or do you feel some connection with your subject (still or real) – does this make you want to capture it differently?
I read a collection of short stories from start to finish, all the stories had a similar vein, and the last story was about a man who wrote short stories. The writer told us the contents of the short story writer's stories. That he always wrote stories that were similar, with a same motif. Was this the case of the writer of the collection? Or was it just the case of the fictional writer?
Would my stories be seen as having similar themes and motives? And do I put these in intentionally? Is there just one thing that I like to write about? Or is it through the act of writing that I can see things differently, see words differently, hear sentences differently and make paragraphs mean entirely different things? And is that the way that writers get their style? Is it just through the act of writing; constructing a sentence in ones head whilst on a country walk, writing a sentence down in a notepad, on the back of a leaf, typed into ones mobile phone, or typing one on a keyboard?
