[February 2003 journal entry]
At least since the mid-1990s, photography has contributed substantively to my ‘non-religious’ experience of and approach to spirituality and ethics. (Music, elective reading, and most recently sketching have somewhat similar importance.) Beyond being a source of relief, photography refreshes (recalibrates, refocuses, replenishes) my attentiveness to the details in everyday situations and my instinct to anticipate (look for) composition in everyday situations. Photography quickens my ability and readiness to be truly/fully present.
