I am a “recovering architect” turned technology consultant … I am the owner and “head geek” at Envision Design, LLC … and I am a photography enthusiast.
In April of 2018 I purchased my first interchangeable lens camera in over 20 years and rediscovered the joy of photography.
For years now, photography via my mobile phone has been my version of meditation practice. My way to try to stay present and in the moment. To learn to slow down and see thru the lens what I might miss in an otherwise busy and hurried life. A daily photography practice as a means to learn to be present.
So I now take and share photographs as a daily mindfulness practice for me. I hope you too find some value, or joy, or respite from the hurried world in the images I share here as well.
I share this quote from Eckhart Tolle with you as it has become my inspiration and my reminder for my photography.
What can be more “present” and in the moment than the taking of a photograph? It is almost impossible to be dwelling on the past or worried about the future when you are taking the time to slow down and notice the world around you… right here… right now… in the present.
“Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry – all forms of fear – are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.” ~ Eckhart Tolle
You can follow me on instagram where I post an “instagram a day” as part of this practice. I will work to write here on a regular basis as I am able. But the real intent of this new site is to have a place to be intentional about being present in the world thru photography. And to have a place to share with others who find joy in life.
