30 Ways to Know a Place

Photographer Bill Mauzy will talk about how getting to know a place intimately will offer unexpected opportunities for photography. This from his website: "In my personal creative work, traditional pursuits of landscape photography increasingly take a back seat to a simple practice of mindful observation, being open to a wide range of potentials, and accepting what emerges. Photography has gradually become more of an introspective, personal activity; an exercise in patience, perseverance, and intuition. I often find that the resulting images are as much a reflection of interior terrain as they are a representation of a physical place or thing. During those times when uncertainty and frustration emerge, I find it’s important to follow my gut feeling and pay attention to what develops, approaching a subject or place with an open mind and a receptive heart."
