i fell in love with black & white photography during my recent dive into the 7 day b&w photo challenge.

it became an extension of my medita…tion practice, my Buddhist – more specifically Zen aesthetic and art.

sitting. observing. listening – above all, listening.

so much around us is speaking to us, reaching out to connect, simply with its inherent presence if we are open to it.

the light. the dark. the shape of things.

i want to document this new journey. what has been made and what can be found. hashtagging these b&w photographs with #TheShapeOfThings.

i look forward to seeing anew and hope it brings something valuable to the journey.
