Creative writing - Prompt - Nature writing In recent years, I have often seen mentioned that the constant need to photograph everything with a view of either keeping every single memory or sharing it with our closer or broader circles through social media, is reducing our ability to be in the moment. As a photographer, I always feel a bit divided by this statement. I mean.....it's true. We see it every day, don't we? People detached from their own lives, living them through mobile phones or tablets. And yet, it feels different when I use my camera. I feel like my camera connects me to the moments and places I'm experiencing. My camera is the vehicle of my art, so for me, seeing the world through my viewfinder feels like a way of processing my reality rather than avoiding it. I never gave the subject a second thought until recently I was introduced to the concept of Mindful Photography. Mindfulness is a word we see everywhere these days. From retreats to meditation classes
it´s so beautiful....
ReplyDeleteI do the same often, just sitting somewhere, breathing the air, listening to birds and enjoying nature and its perfection.
You can catch the wind standing under those rocks. I wish I had something like this nearby whenever I felt "a bit down". Really beautiful stuff :)
