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
