As usual, an insightful and well-written article. It caused me to think about how my photography has evolved and in particular how the pandemic has played into that journey. Not too many years ago I would have described myself as a " hunter type." Going out shooting was always about finding the shot I had imagined was out there. Sometimes it worked, most times it didn't. Instead of slowing down, I sped up. I just needed to cover more territory and find the shot. Somehow, I'm not sure how or exactly when I stopped running around and began to pay attention to what was in front of me. Amazing what I had missed. The pandemic has allowed me to focus more on architecture and shapes as the light and shadows play off of them. Being present and observant is my new mantra. I think I am a better photographer as a result.
Thanks again for the thoughtful article. Thinking about why one does what one does really matters. Stay safe.🙏🏻
