Well being through photography

Photo society this evening. A fascinating talk by Anita Chaudhuri on Wellbeing through photography. 

Loads of interesting thoughts. Dont start photographing in an area until you have been sitting down meditating for half an hour first. Walk around without a camera first. Take fewer images. Take images based on a theme or project. Stop every five minutes and take a picture where you are standing.

One of the thoughts was whether it is important for images to be sharp. Saul Leiter came into the conversation with his beautiful New York pictures. One of my favourites. I thought I would try his style on the way back to the station.
