To do it correctly, you must slow down. Remember Ansel Adams had one shot to get it right - he had to consider everything before pushing that shutter. That whole thought process for me is my meditation - I am engaged in the porcess - and there's nothing more relaxingCarolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-12295994865304414482012-10-04T14:19:56.200-07:002012-10-04T14:19:56.200-07:00Perfectly expressed!Perfectly expressed!carolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-12600466399462325402012-10-04T14:09:25.904-07:002012-10-04T14:09:25.904-07:00So very true, Linda!

But, as photographers, we have the perfect tool for slowing things down. I find that with my camera in my hands, I do indeed slow down and live in the moment. Ahhhh! Then ... later ... I get to relive those moments.<br /><br />FOL Family ... thanks to Linda ... we have a mission ... slow down the treadmill!<br /><br />:-DDottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-41282797142266637422012-10-04T11:20:38.095-07:002012-10-04T11:20:38.095-07:00Here's to slowing things down!

(If I bought Halloween candy that early I'd surely have it eaten by the end of August!) haha Photography is a good way to slow things down. Good reminder to make time for ourselves to do just that. heyjudephotographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098165048025314116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-83068026858624264082012-10-04T09:15:12.722-07:002012-10-04T09:15:12.722-07:00I was going to share the same story about Nordstro...I was going to share the same story about Nordstrom that Terri did. (I love their marking ideas) I wish we could slow it down too! BUT in the mean time, like you we will photograph and at least be able to look back and slow it down in hind sight. I love your acorns... wish we had them here!<br /><br />HugsClaudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061773932119197157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-81925777642154599142012-10-04T09:03:23.198-07:002012-10-04T09:03:23.198-07:00Have you ever watched those rocket car races, that...Have you ever watched those rocket car races, that deploy the parachute behind them to slow them down?

I'm not sure whose idea it was to put all the major holidays into the last couple of months of the year but I sure wish they were spread out a bit more. And the retailers starting to display Christmas items in September is just wrong! Last year Nordstrom had signs in their stores that they would not be displaying Christmas things until after Thanksgiving, that they would be focusing on one holiday at a time. What a refreshing idea! So we must do our best to slow things down and enjoy every minute on this speeding train of the last quarter of the year. Thanks for the great reminder to slow things down with photography, the best way to savor the moment! terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-29638336755261628772012-10-04T07:02:16.427-07:002012-10-04T07:02:16.427-07:00I'm all in favour of the slowing down.
