Genre of photography love most

Was asked by a fellow photographer re the genre of photography that I enjoy doing and almost immediately macro photography comes to mind as for me, unlike many other genres, where what you see is what you get, macro brings you to a different level of awareness and you end up taking photographs that you would ordinarily not be able to see with your naked eye. Things or insects are all fair game; living and inanimate are also great subjects; good or bad lighting brings along different moods and styles; even the most humble leaf can bring great joy when photographed close-up to reveal its veins and hairs. Every time I lack ideas or inspiration or things just become just another street photograph, a return to macro or more specifically taking photos of the bugs brings back the joy of seeing the world in a different way. To me, that's the whole point of taking photographs - to see the world differently.
