The photographic technique in theory is based on repeatablity but not consistability. Since each datum of time that we can realistically be mindful of changes constantly the camera never ever points at the exact same thing twice. The art in practice, it seems, is based on investigation, on imagination, on concentration. on play and delight-ful-ness. More and more I see that the real "shutter" is inside and sometimes in some combination of all the above there is no shutter. No curtain of separation. No You and no I. Just us! Glory Be!
It was cold, nothing glowed until after I stopped and became mindful of the tops of two old trees and noted the texture, shape, line, and light of sinew with the sky.
Then I felt humbled. Then I knew I was standing on sacred ground in holy space and was moved to feel gratitude, moved to bumble over a few heartfelt datum of metta and to experience the abiding love of the universe and the gift that is this life.
Then things started to glow.
