Mindfulness

I’m taking a Mindfulness in Photography class at my local community art school. The discipline is about “seeing’ first, before the brain jumps to conceptualizing, comparing past experience, and any number of internal or external distractions. How often had I missed seeing the beauty of the morning light falling over the dew collecting on an iris leaf in my koi pond?

At the Exhibition

One of my favourite places to take pictures (Not the ones on the wall I hasten to add) are art galleries people stand for ages and stare, and think. I do too. However I do find the people more fascinating than the paintings at times.

Just Passing By

As I was driving back home to the mountains of Virginia, after visiting the ocean in North Carolina, I passed by this community lake. I’m not even sure where along the drive it was. Those reflections on a bright, beautiful day just caught my eye.

Tall Ships 2022

Black And White Photography, David Jensen, Photography

 

The tall ships have returned after being absent due to the damnpenic. Previous years the ships came to Duluth, Minnesota however, this year they are in Two Harbors which is about 25 miles up the shore of Lake Superior. To avoid the crowds, I arrived around 5:30AM and flew my drone out over the harbor.

A color version of the image and more of my work can be seen on my blog. I also have work on my website.
