Photography & Mindfulness

This page all started with an advertisement on Facebook for a class titled “Photography & Mindfulness” which has always been a sort of unwritten description of my nature photography. So I said, “Why not?” and signed up for the online class “starting soon,” which turned out to just be a series of downloadable lectures from a website which was a little disappointing and the first lesson felt like a waste of time & money, but I decided that I would be positive since I already paid for this and get all I can out of it. I think my notes will be more helpful to photographers than the Buddha-inspired monologues by a young lady in Spain named Ampro.

I may add more to this introductory page, but first, at the beginning of the second lesson I decided to move my notes, writings, and photos from a notebook to pages on my website where I can share links, etc. Plus, typing is quicker and easier for me now than writing longhand in a notebook! 🙂 First, a sub-page on each lesson (she calls “pauses”) from the course and then we will see what develops from that . . .

The featured photo is a Physalis or “Chinese Lantern” (a vine) growing wild in a neighbor’s yard until he “cleaned up” the yard. Wildness sometimes has unique beauties that a cultivated garden will never have! 🙂 Maybe that is “mindfulness” of wildness! 🙂

¡Pura Vida!
