"WHATCHA LOOKIN AT?"
Photography
“Photography transports me to a meditative state, where the world halts and my entire being is immersed in a focused, present moment. As I capture images, time seems to stand still, allowing me to transcend into a flow state. The act of photographing becomes a profound meditation, pulling me away from the hustle of daily life. In this suspended reality, my senses heighten, attuned to the subtle details of my surroundings. Each click of the camera serves as a gateway to mindfulness, anchoring me in the now. Through the lens, I find solace and connection with the beauty that often goes unnoticed. It is in these suspended moments that I discover the profound and transformative power of photography as a medium for both artistic expression and personal introspection.” — JENNIFER DOWD
