Understanding Art and the Mystic of Photography

Dismantling the myths of contemporary photography: In a previous post I was asking what is photography? Painting with light, the act of composing with in a box, raw binary data, information stored on disk, a picture preserved on paper? Dogmatic approaches vs. meditative minds eye's development states of photography are the developmental tools towards growth. Technology can help us transcend technique but the aware or awakened photographer can bring new information to the audience of there works.

Art (exterior) is repetition, practice and technique. Mystic (interiors) is the pursuit of higher level of consciousness. Duality is a blessing as long we work towards a balance of the two. Dismantling the myths of contemporary photography is the quest for whole brain photography; behind the lens is equally as important as what is in front of the lens.
