Simplicity:  sincere, alert, natural

---

Life Application: nature photography allows us to attend to our spiritual, physical, intellectual, relational, and emotional well-being with one simple practice.

Being in nature, engaging in play, tuning into the present moment, seeking inspiration, exploring new locations, and observing our thoughts as we look through the camera attends to our spiritual lives. ​​

---

Stretching our bodies, engaging our muscles, holding poses, walking to each location, taking time off, and stepping away from our to-do lists as we make images attends to our physical lives.

Learning about our cameras, trying new techniques, experimenting with different equipment, taking classes, and troubleshooting problems as we engage in the art form attends to our intellectual lives. ​

---

Noticing our non-human co-inhabitants, inviting friends to join a photo adventure, sharing our images with friends, family, and followers, and expressing our feelings about the impact of photography attends to our relational lives.

Expressing emotions, photographing what we love, making art, prioritizing our interests, asking for support, and slowing down as we engage with mindful photography attends to our emotional lives. ​
