What Would Minor White Do?

Photograph who you really are

Venture into the landscape without expectations. 

Let your subject find you. 

When you approach it, you will feel resonance, a sense of recognition. If, when you move away, the resonance fades, or if it gets stronger as you approach, you'll know you have found your subject. 

Sit with your subject and wait for your presence to be acknowledged. 

Don't try to make a photograph, but let your intuition indicate the right moment to release the shutter. 

If, after you've made an exposure, you feel a sense of completion, bow and let go of the subject and your connection to it. 

Otherwise, continue photographing until you feel the process is complete.
