Although I may not comment often enough, just want you to know that I appreciate the hard work you put in to generate a new post every 36 hrs. I’m spending some time editing some photos I took 2 weeks ago in Charleston, SC. Very different from film, but I do also enjoy the beauty I can capture with my digital work. You can find me on Flickr. Also just started a web page, landscape photodoc.com. Not sure what I’ll do with it, but fun to set up. Spring has sprung here in the South, so soon we’ll have some great photo ops in the Blue Ridge. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
Thanks Martin, I appreciate you saying, very much.
Feel free to leave a link to your Flickr profile here that others can explore.
Thanks, Dan. Here is the link to my Flickr:https://www.flickr.com/photos/128956866@N02/page1
I have been playing around with recording video and audio for my 20 Second Meditation series on my YouTube channel. Also have been working on releasing new work on my Family is Family series on my IG account. Can’t seem to generate the output on my website/blog as you do so well. 👏👏👏
Thanks Lisa, well most of what I do online is blogs, so it means I can commit time to it without trying to juggle five social media accounts etc.
20 Second Meditation sounds intriguing… Feel free to leave a link here to your YouTube…
Oh thanks Dan. According to a study by Microsoft released in 2015, a goldfish has an attention span of about 9 sec. And a person loses concentration after about 8 sec. So you may wonder why only 20 sec. meditation? Because a goldfish has a longer attention span than you so I figure I better keep it short. So here’s a link to my YouTube channel:

Lisa Marie that is very concerning that we only have an eight second concentration span. But how can that be true? How would we ever be able to read a blog post, let alone a chapter of a book? It can’t be right!
I totally understand your thinking down. But how often do we read a paragraph only to have to re-read it because our mind drifted somewhere else while we are reading. Were you able to truly fully immerse yourself in the 20 second meditations without being distracted by any thinking outside the moment?
Let me rephrase that last sentence. Were you able to fully immerse yourself in the 20 second meditations without being distracted by thoughts outside that experience?
This is a different challenge I’d say. Concentrating on one thing – a book, a film, a conversation – is quite easy to do for 20 seconds. Trying to empty your mind of thought for 20 seconds a much greater challegne. But I think yes I can do this when I’m photographing, those moments when I’m composing and taking a picture…
I wrote about this a little while back –

Maybe sometimes our concentration drifts, but I can certainly read many pages of a book or website without this happening – certainly far longer than 20 seconds! Very worrying if this is the average person’s attention span!
