À propos du livre
No/Know Where to Stand is about a self-discovery journey. Self-discovery is uniquely individual, and the focus is on the revelatory and transformational journey, not the destination.
We participate in “no-ing” where to stand by being present in the “moment”. “No-ing” ineffably is neither thought nor thing. “No-ing” is formless and timeless. “No-ing” is an avenue of awareness and a pointer from which transformation takes on form.
“Looking” and “seeing” are different approaches to self-discovery. “Looking” relies on the physical senses and technical mastery to “know” how to solve problems. “Seeing” is “stillness-based listening” that resonates from a space where “no-ing” and revelation embrace. “Looking” seeks to solve problems. “Seeing” does not seek answers or solutions. “Seeing” unconditionally participates in the mystery of not having to “know”.
“Stillness” revelations sow the inspiration seeds for transformation. “No-ing” and “knowing” makes for a cooperative self-discovery adventure. The captions serve as “navigation guides” to engage the reader along their own journey. To be meaningful, each photographer needs to create their own custom self-discovery settings …and this process is ongoing.
Photography is a language of communion and communication. “No-ing” helps frame my “do-ing” approach. How well we communicate is, in part, a function of our receptivity to “stillness” (“no-ing”) and how well we execute on our passion (“knowing”).
The self-discovery journey celebrates the transformative gift of photography. Our capacity to live fully in the “moment” is infinite. To be consciously “in form”, we need to be consciously “informed”.
Photography becomes a portal for self-discovery when discovery lives in the present “moment”. Light is to the photographer, what “stillness” is to an explorer of consciousness. We marinate in the mystery of “stillness” to discover life is an on-going journey message.
