Photography
photography is more than just taking photos,
photography is opening yourself up to the
beauty, drama, violence, suffering, of all insights
into the mental makeup of our lives through
image creations never surround yourself with
negativity, everything is a pain from the past,
be aware but move beyond your fears and
anxiety and just be yourself making great images
we see only what we are trained as children
to see and we ignore the alleys of vision that
could open our eyes to the infinite compositions
of scenes waiting for you, that allows you to
think more intuitively and sense details that
reflect our inner character as we open our
minds to our new revelations of image creation
photography is opening all our senses to the
external reality that we are living in but fail
to examine through our unique vision not yet
realized and developed, we need to be seeing
our own instinct blossom, opening ones mind
to the beauty and violence that surrounds us
we see the world through our eye sight but we
also see the world, feel the world through all our
senses opening our inner mind to accept the
landscape before us but not just the surface
dive into muddy waters hoping for a good picture,
but for us we must dive deeper into the currents
which allows us a unique transformation of seeing
the scene before us and the image that we will create
for all subjects, photographs we delve deep into
not only seeing details new to our potential
image realization but also a gift of connection
with the outside world and its infinite possibilities,
we must as photographers use all our senses
to release in our sight an overwhelming feeling
of belonging to something bigger within us which
leads us to respect mother earth and the beauty
in nature present before we click our camera
if we can break through the conditioned,
accepted reality that we have been forced
to view subjects on a surface reflection and
on unwillingness to go beyond the surface of
visual repetitions seen over and over again
for we must break free of the intellect that
finds you the stereotypes of visual composition
as the usual dull numbers on a puzzle of cardboard
you must use your visual instincts to go beyond
the game of being a copy cat and move to
express your inner, visual sight with subjects
only you see and that you connect with on a
deeper level
