A Meditation for Photographers By Dwight Tomes

Thank you for the gift of photography:

Thank you for the gift of three’s, of the flowing S, of the joy of watching a print appear in developer, of seeing an image appear on a computer screen, but most of all for the gift of seeing where others can’t.

Thanks for the gift of seeing new things and of revisiting old places with new eyes and most of all for the second chance to capture the essence of place, of time, of God’s wonderful light.

Thanks for the gift of technology, of silver on film and paper, of lenses wide and long, of cameras big and small, of pixels and mega-pixals, of ASA’s low and high, and the freedom to choose for our own creativity.

Thanks for the gift to learn, to try a new lens, to try a different view, to visit a favorite spot one more time, to adapt to both the new and the old, and to enjoy where reason doesn’t always rule.

Thanks for the gift to teach, to help others to see what most don’t, to take a vision from mind to reality, to give to the next generation the gift we were given.

Thanks for the gift of community, to share what we’ve learned, to listen to new ideas, to share how to learn, to share how we see, and to share how we translate our vision to reality.

First given to the Des Moines Camera Club
