There is a lot of talk about meditation and quieting the mind - all wonderful and important concepts but I somehow feel the answer is even closer and simpler.

Immersing yourself in what truly inspires and uplifts you, losing yourself utterly and completely, even if for a few moments, dissolving in the experience and becoming one with whatever you are looking at - what is that if not a powerful form of meditation itself? Photography is one of the doors to this freeing state of quiet awareness and a peaceful mind, sought by so many, and it’s our privilege as photographers to be able to share it through our work.
