Photo Camp Friday

Slowing Down 

I picked a topic for today that I have been working on myself for quite some time.  On the particular day these images were shot, I actually made it my intention to slow down and just notice.  I wasn't striving for to compose a perfect image or chasing liam's every expression.  I was just walking and seeing.  Winter is such a perfect time to try this exercise because everything is so still and quiet.  I find it easier to stay present and take in the little details.  And since so much is dormant, your eyes get to work a little harder at finding signs of life.  

One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, "What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?"

Love the shots! Really captured the day and the hike...snowy, quiet, and peaceful.
