My Journey: A Personal Note

My own path to intentional photography wasn’t linear. It began in retirement, evolving from a hiker and bird-watcher with a mobile phone to an enthusiastic photographer bagging “tonnes of shots.”

The real shift happened when I consciously began to shed efficiency. I learned that to truly see, I had to interrupt my brain’s automatic shortcuts. The pace of my photography slowed dramatically. I started bringing home fewer images, but each one represented a deeper encounter.

This slowing down—this trade of quantity for depth—became more than a technique. It became a form of active meditation and a way to reconnect with awe. For me, photography is now less about producing an image and more about the therapeutic and devotional process of patient, attentive seeing—a form of visual meditation.

You are cordially invited to explore the ideas that grew from this realization. I am building a conversation on the historical, philosophical, and spiritual aspects of the art-of-seeing on my dedicated page: Photography in Context.
