Much is written about mindfulness in the process of making a photograph. What does this mean exactly? We believe it is about the slowing down and connectedness one acquires as one makes an image in the field. We agree there is a mindfulness with street photography as well but it is a different kind of awareness than the one finds within the pace of landscape photography.

We are looking for those moments (or even hours) filled with the ‘conscious present’. These are almost always solitary times when the artist finds the self imbued with a sense of connectedness to nature. This cannot be forced. You cannot bend nature to your will. It is rather a loss of self in experiencing the scene before you. .

We are looking for those photographs from you which were made with this deep sense of union between photographer and place.
