Upgrade Your May: Day 2 - Mindful PhotographyHiya! Welcome to Day 2 of Upgrade Your May! Did you start your Gratitude Journal yet? If you have no idea what I'm talking about, head to Day 1 of UYM here: Upgrade Your May: Day 1. Today is all about mindful photography. Taking the time to take photographs of ordinary things around us in a mindful way. Really looking at what we're taking a photo of. How might it feel if we touched it (don't touch it, just imagine)? What colours does it consist of? Is it moving? How slowly? Why? etc It adds such a beautiful new element to our photos. And can bring a new appreciation for the world around us. In today's featured podcast I chat to the amazing Lindsey Millar, author of the beautiful book: North Korea: Like Nowhere Else: Two Years of Living in the World's Most Secretive State. Lindsey used to live in Pyongyang, North Korea, while accompanying her husband on a diplomatic posting. And during her trip took some incredible photos of life around her. It's a phenomenal look at the real people in North Korea, beyond the headlines, and I highly recommend giving it a look. Click the podcast graphic below to give it a listen, or open your phone camera and scan the QR code so you can listen on your phone, or save it for later.
The freebie for today is a little guide on mindful photography and a checklist for inspiration. So download it now and give it a little read through before you start taking some mindful photos of your own. Remember there are no rules really, just take your time, focus on the task and enjoy yourself. That's the whole point! Every season at Upgrade Your Day, the Upgraders (that's you) and I go on a Sunrise Ramble in the local area, around Windsor and Eton, Berkshire, to welcome in the new season. It's glorious! After every ramble we gather together everyone's mindful photos taken on the ramble, and give one lucky Upgrader a goodie bag for the best photo! If you would like to join us at the next one, head to the Rambles page to register your place now! If you're reading this as I post it, we have our Spring Ramble coming up in a couple of weeks on the 14th of May, and we would LOVE to see you!
