Simply Put

Today we have so many things to keep us busy, confused, in a hurry and anxious. Corporations attempt to recruit the best talent by pitching work life balance. It's a known fact that stress kills but I feel we're not far from reaching a critical mass of awareness that will eventually change the culture of this nation.

Photographers are no different. We need to find our peace of mind too. I've found that a lot Fine Art Photographers revel in the presence of nature and beautiful landscapes. Almost all the Landscape Fine Art Photographers have a need to be outdoors with nature.

The American Indians teach us about the Great Spirit, a non-theistic belief in an active, personal, non-anthropomorphic Deity intertwined with the fabric of the Universe. They would practice getting in a rhythm with the spirit. In modern terms, we could call this getting in the zone.

The more the Landscape Photographer works their craft, the more they find a deep appreciation and love for the natural world. Some photographers have a whole heart commitment; their art contributes to the sustaining of our National Forest.

I love the natural outdoors, but most of all, I love the peace and quiet it has to offer. I would suggest to anyone, grab your camera take a short hike to get far enough off the road to be quiet, find a beautiful place and get "Simply Put."
