How I find Center

I find my center in photography. I shoot with a Sony Alpha a700. Why Sony? Because I had a bunch of memory sticks already and wanted to save a dime. Do I regret my purchase? Absolutely not! I love my Sony and am going to be getting the a900 in August (hopefully, if my budget holds up).

How do I find center taking pictures? The easiest way to explain it is because this is where I am naturally present. When I am taking pictures I am focused and only thinking about taking pictures.

How did I find out that photography brings me back to center? Through practice. I tried different things, walking, exercise, reading but thoughts came in. I realized that when taking pictures it captured my natural focus.

How do I use photography to find center when I am not taking pictures? I think about how I feel when I take pictures and try to capture that same focus. This is why it is called practice; I practice center while taking pictures, doing other things I try to obtain the same state.

Let's try this again. Re: favorite lense - attempt #2.

Since blogger obviously doesn't want me tpo post the photo of my lense, let's try it again with a different photo.

Once again, this is my Sony Alpha A700 with my minolta 50mm f1.7 lense.

I love the shots I get with this lense evidenced by:

What you get for $1200

My camera has the ability to detect my eye behind the viewfinder. I take a picture and it doesn't show on the display until after I pull the camera away, this is high tech! :)

My camera

This is my Sony Alpha A700. I use it to take the photos posted on http://blog.myspace.com/12hourhalfday. I am greatful for it, it gives me the ability to relax, be creative, and it reminds me that with hard work and patience, great things come whether that is a beautiful photo or a wonderful expensive camera that I saved up for weeks and made lots of sacrifices for. Let's hold onto that reminder in the coming months since I have lots of camera accessories and supplies I aspire to purchase.
