“This experience was the perfect reminder that we may not know where we
are going or how we are getting there. By allowing yourself to follow what
feels good coupled with that impulse to go while holding the excitement of
new discoveries within your awareness, the payoff is always spectacular.”
-August conclaves
My photography gallery brings together many moments of joy, wonder and a sense of aliveness. All of my photography is taken with my Apple iPhone.
Through intention and relaxing into the moment, we can open to our core self and creativity, which is a portal to Universal Intelligence and Grace. We can align with ourselves and our sense of spirituality through the visual
masterpieces nature provides. Access to this knowing, to these magic moments is as simple as looking through the lens of your camera and making the click. Any camera will do.
The point is, capturing the heart-full essence of the moment. No two spaces in time are the same. Every venture out into nature is unique. Your mood and frame of mind can be expressed and shifted through the medium of photography.
For many years, I worked as a psychotherapist with folks with special needs and with varying abilities to express themselves. We would use photography during sessions which greatly enhanced communication, connection, and a feeling of well-being.
I often line the walls of my home with the photographs I have taken. Not because I am enamored with my work but because it brings me back to the moment of the capture and the joy that moment brought. It is a beautiful way to shift ones emotions and perceptions. It’s like putting money in the bank and being able to draw on that account when needed. When I look at an image, I draw on the heart energy I accrued, through the simple, yet profound act of being in the moment, in that precise point in time and making the click.
For me, photography is a spiritual practice, therapeutic and a joy generator.
Working with my photography in postproduction/editing is very calming for me and I generally “play” with my photographs when I am relaxing at the end of the day. It is always interesting to me how post production elicits emotional responses such as excitement, inspiration and joy.
Many of my photographs have a moody feel. I love all the ways images can be altered and enhanced. Photography is a road of discovery where I often encounter, a stirring in my heart, a smile on my face, and deep emotional and spiritual insight. I relish the time when I am able to wander in wonderment and stroll with my muse.
