blog post: pursue your path
“Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.” — Henry David Thoreau
The “path” of photographing has so much significance for so many people…it can be an outlet for creativity, a means to document life and loved ones, a way to earn a living…photography and the act of photographing is multifaceted! it’s a path that can instill immediate awe and excitement, both while photographing and through the visual rewards of the end result: an image that evokes emotion or memories. photography is a powerful medium of expression! no wonder so many people have such tremendous reverence for it.

blog post: creating success
“A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows the public opinion.” — Chinese Proverb
It is easy to lose your way to creating your own success when you compare yourself with others. comparing is an outward gaze; it negates the person you are – all of your many talents and fine qualities. if you are trying to determine how to direct your passion for photography or how to create your photographic style, look inward and ask yourself: what are my values? what do i love? who or what inspires me? how would my friends describe me? these are a few of many questions that can lead you down the path of self-creation.
Trends are deceiving; they are exciting today, but pass by quickly. if you seek to follow trends or duplicate another photographer’s style, your business will pass by quickly too. take care to learn the time-honored principles surrounding the craft of photography, integrate them and they will help you to be true to yourself and build a strong foundation for your business.
Zen Photography Safaris | Workshops | Retreats will impart inspiration and help you build your photographic foundation and style. join us and offer yourself a rich opportunity to blossom.
