Why I love photography

Creativity, at least my creativity, is a mental state and akin to a deep state of meditation. It’s got nothing to do with mythology, religion or anything esoteric and all to do with being mindful of my surroundings and entering a state of absolute concentration. When in this state, everything around me that is outside my concentration just doesn’t exist and everything inside my concentration gets a close examination that often leads to images that wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t been in that meditative state. Photography is my form of creativity, is imperative to my relationship with my surroundings and is also one of the keys to my wellbeing. It’s my place of happiness, relaxation and mindfulness.
