Photography

I am not a photographer. The world has enough of those.

But I do take photographs as a way to remind myself how to see. And the world could definitely use more people who can see clearly.

Most of the time, we go through life hurrying to the next appointment, thinking about the next item on our list, positioning ourselves for our next performance, that we don’t even notice the here and now.

Regardless of our level of technique, bringing a camera to our eye can stop the mind, and show us what we are missing by always living in the past and future. It’s not the image that matters, it’s the seeing.
