Getting back to nature keeps it real.
I learned about a Japanese concept called Forest Bathing this year. Seeking out natural environments in conjunction with my photography has enhanced my well being and has been a positive experience for me.
The idea is to visit a forest, or any natural place and immerse one’s self in the environment using all of our senses. There is a lot of science around the concept of Forest Bathing which is fascinating for further study. But suffice to say, it syncs with my love of shooting thoughtful, zen photos.
