Welcome to Mindful Frames: The Art of Quiet Observations.
Here, nothing is about performance, but it’s about noticing more, being present, and embracing imperfections.
All pictures are straight out of the camera, not altered, nor cropped, or adjusted.
This is the essence of Wabi-Sabi photography:
A transformational photography experience to let go of the pursuit of perfection.
If this resonates with you, then you will love the value I’m sharing in my newsletters. I’m grateful for your support.
The shadow play in the house.
A very easy way to start noticing and being more present is definitely in your home.
Start noticing the shadows and light, like I did with the chains of our industrial lamps that are projected against the wall, produced by the warm morning light.
I have a disco ball on the shelf. (and an orange mushroom lamp)
Everyone loves this disco ball. Especially Bowie, our Australian Shepherd.
It’s fascinating to notice how the light is reflected and how its colors change differently on the wall during the changing of seasons.
A bit similar to the first picture. But this time, with the flags from a birthday party.
And last but certainly not least, I noticed how the lightbulb was printed on the wall.
It’s a simple and beautiful exercise that you can do every day and throughout the whole year, observing how the shadow and light dance in your home during the four seasons.
Try it and feel free to share yours in the comments of this post. I'm looking forward to seeing them.
And if you like to join more private sessions, I’m sharing assignments and prompts regularly in the chat. Feel free to join 😌
I wish you a lovely noticing day.
