You Know You are a Contemplative Photographer When.....

What you seek is also seeking you.
...you are able to embrace the metaphoric capability of the living landscape.

...you practice heightened awareness and hone your perception skills to look beyond the surface quality of things.

...you consider your journal as important as your camera.

...you follow your heart's GPS trusting that it will never lead you astray.

...you remain open to the spontaneous and the serendipitous.

...you know that wherever you are is where you should be and you will receive the images you need.

...you stop being a "taker of photographs" and become a "receiver of images".

...you enter into a co-creative conspiracy with the landscape.

...you learn to see the divine fingerprint in the natural world and the sacred in the commonplace.

...you travel with the heart of a pilgrim and not the mindset of the tourist.

...you can read your photograph as easily as the printed page.

...you realize that the wisdom of the landscape is everywhere and that there are no unsuitable places or unworthy images.
