Transparency

I felt as blissful this morning after photographing as I do after a long meditation. Is photography a kind of meditation?

For me the answer is yes. Meditation to me is anything that allows my mind to experience increasing subtlety. When I start photographing I often feel like it takes a while to “warm up.” As I continue it starts getting subtle. At the end I don’t want to quit.

What’s your experience? Does increasing subtlety in something you do feel like meditation to you?

I was out photographing the apricot blossoms again this morning. You can see the new photos in my Straight From The Camera section of the site.
