inhale darkness; exhale light

Photography is my favorite meditation. To me, the best time to take a portrait (my own or someone else's) is when the subject is experiencing a strong emotion or going through something extreme in their life, whether it is good or bad or both. When my subject and I create the image, together we meditate on those feelings, and then we make them into something tangible. Together we inhale, and when we exhale, light appears.
