Artistic Flow

Went to India, and came back to Boston, sort of. Heard and desperately hoped that meditation centers (they are known as Ashrams in India) can be a powerful catalysts of personal transformation. I am ready, I am open to it. And indeed have the most comfortable, loving, peaceful time with myself ever. Total piece and total love - impossible to put into words, one can only experience that.

While there, have no interest in pulling out my Nikon. It is all about being in the moment, experiencing, living in totality. But even when still in India I start wondering how this bliss and love will change the way I photograph, how I see.
   Back to Boston now. At first, nothing much is happening, except that I do no longer accept average anything, cliches make me nauseous. The question is then - can I take non-nauseous pictures?
   I invite a woman that has no interest in results (in pictures that is, or at least never asks me for them), but only in the experience, and so do I this time. Peaceful time, fully in the moment, trust, comfort. And after a while we together make pictures that I Love, See, Feel, before they even come out on the LCD. The flow is beautiful, I smile, I take more pictures, we sit down and talk, enjoy each others company totally.
   Are those better pictures by somebody else's judgment? I do not know, and it is not important - I have so much joy, love looking back at the pictures. I love it all, and commit to making my photography experience a joyful one, or not do it at all

  2. Good idea. Will attempt to collect the blog, diary entries and other experiences in the coherently flowing story. It will take some time
