The next morning, I was making my way across the beach and realized that a man was taking photos of the morning sunrise. My path was taking me directly in front of his camera. Quickly, I turned away and started to walk in another direction in order to avoid ‘ruining’ his photo.
No matter how smart you are or how talented one may be, if you do not continue to learn and grow throughout life, you rot! As I veered out of his way, I apologized for walking into the photograph. The gentleman turned out to be a visitor from another country. He opened his arms and gave me a big smile. What he said to me was priceless.
As one person trying to reach out to many by blending my hobby of photography and an education in human wellness, I want to express the deep-rooted connection that we all share with Mother Earth. On this morning, I learned a valuable lesson. The lesson is that if, I am wanting to communicate the delicate, harmonious balance that people share with the land, why don’t I have people in any of my photographs?
So, on that note, the quote of the day is (What this kind man said to me):
“Everyone belongs to the scenery.” tc
