“I take photographs not only with my eyes, but with my entire body.” 

 - DAIDO MORIYAMA

 

Its so beautiful when I can feel a photograph rather than having it as an intellectual discourse. I get so caught up in my head.  It is a big thing for me to let go of that rational left brain thinking and just feel.     

I swear that the more creative and practiced at art I become the more emotional I become.  As I age I am becoming more relaxed, hopefully more playful, and so much more in tune with my feelings and emotions. 

The question really has to be, how do you take a photograph with your entire body?
