The Inner Path of Photography

“Anticipation”

I lay my wing
As a bridge to you

So that you can join us
Singing.

– Hafiz

i park my car
walk down the sandy path
deeper into the dunes, closer towards the ocean

my feet sink
feel the softness…umm…

hurry hurry i think
i want to see the sea!

it shouldn’t be this hard, it seems
So close, but requiring energy and strength

i can’t wait for that
delicious feeling
when I turn that corner go around that fence get up to the top

aah

yes

It’s actually a pleasure, this small hill to the sea
sensuous journey of anticipation

not knowing what the view will bring
but trusting in its beauty

Now to remember…and live my life the same

You must be set on fire by the inner sun…

Remember the proverb, Eat the grapes.

Do not keep talking about the grapes.

Eat the grapes.

– Rumi

You must be set on fire by the inner sun.

You have to live your Love or else

You’ll only end in words.

– Rumi

“Who Takes Credit?” Collaboration Program by Aurora Picture Show Houston tomorrow…

It’s fun to do collaborative projects; I’m drawn to them more and more.

When it comes to showing and promoting the final piece, however, how do you allocate credit? Some artists may have contributed more time, others more artwork, perhaps another had the original motivating idea.

Tomorrow, Tuesday August 23, at 6:00 PM, Aurora Picture Show, Houston is hosting a “Happy Hour Video Hour with Filmmaker Andrew Lampert,” the subject being “Collaboration as a Means of Control.”

Sounds interesting. See you there?

“Inner Path of Photography – Santa Fe” Weekend Experience, Sept 16-18, 2011

The art of photography is much more than just pushing a button. There is an inner process that reflects the mystical, spiritual part of life, inside of us as well as outside. We can learn to take better photographs by understanding and developing this inner quality, as well as understand ourselves and improve our lives by following the inner path.

Please join me for this special weekend in Santa Fe, September 16-18, 2011.
