The only time a photographer can expose a picture is in the present, and success is dependent on how present is at the moment of exposure. Being present means not only focusing on the outside world, the source of the subject matter. It means paying equal attention to what is going on inside oneself. Otherwise, one misses the subtle signals in body and forms including feeling, fantasy, intuition, bodily sensation, emotion and thought. By paying full attention to these signals and following them, we access the potential to be freed from self-limiting concepts and experiences. In addition, the quality of the relationship between oneself and the subject matter becomes clear.

This relationship is the foundation of photography as an art form. As being addicted in photography, I usually ponder to use techniques drawn from a number of fields to learn to pay full attention inwardly while making photographs. It's only by noticing and following my internal signals that my work can progress toward communicating a profound richness of depth and meaning. When consistently practiced, this seemingly dual form of attention is also a doorway to the possibility of a vastly enriched experience of oneself and the subject.

I appreciate photo's mostly on the feelings the photographers evoke. I have always liked the photo's that appeal to the deeper, purer emotions, and not the commercial types that are the output of the advertising world. I like to ""look"" at a photograph and try to know the photographer's psychological makeup at the time they take the pictures. This however, does  also help me to learn from others.

Thank for those who share their works and their thoughts with me.
