Why am I talking about the third eye on my photography blog?
Photography has become such an integral part of appreciating and enjoying the life I’ve been given. I have discovered a new vision that's deeply personal and this has guided me towards what truly matters.
Without a doubt, nature holds a very special place in my heart, it’s so delicate yet fiercely powerful and my respect for this is what drives me to pick up my camera at every given opportunity. I want to be able to cherish every moment that nature shares with me.
When I spend two hours watching birds and come home with nothing, I don’t mind. I am escaping from the mundane life that I so often slip into. The materialistic existence of purchasing things I don’t need, working day in and day out just to buy more things that i don’t need. When I'm out with my ’third eye', time is never wasted, instead I am discovering, learning and connecting. I become insignificant and my path is guided by what’s around me.
When i do manage to connect and lock that shutter on something truly unique to me, my heart skips a beat. I’m not exaggerating when I say a tear may form in my eye because it quite often has. That moment is what i live for and whether others see what i see doesn’t really matter. The whole experience is incredibly exhilarating and I will be eternally grateful to the very person who encouraged me to discover my third eye (thank you Ronnie).
Never ask me to kill an insect, I would not be able to live with the guilt.
