I discovered that the camera is a perfect tool to practice mindfulness. I woke up this morning feeling agitated. I went to an office party last night. Many of my colleges got really drunk, but they were having fun. I was just not in the mood for it all and left early. I woke up this morning, and still not feeling rested, sat down at the computer to read your blogs. Then I grabbed my camera to play around a little bit.
As I was pulling my attention away from yesterdays party and into the little details I was trying to capture with the camera in my kitchen I had a smile on my face.
oh you are so right about the camera and mindfulness. so in the present and everything else is swept away....
SvarSlettMy office is buying a very good camera and some very good lenses:) I am so excited!
I totally agree :)
SvarSlettI never thought of that..but it's a wonderful way to focus the mind. What a good use for the camera!
SvarSlettI also always feel photography is a form of focused meditation; if I don't get somwehat lost in the activity, the photos lose a certain light, or a will for surprise.
