Some seek it, some not.
Those who seek it, look for it in meditation, travels, drugs, gurus, books or challenges.
I found it, without looking, in photography.
It combines all of the methods above!
- Having your camera in front of your face feels like: meditation
- The camera lets you explorer places, you wouldn’t usually visit: travel
- Looking for, and getting the right “moment”, the perfect shot makes super happy & that is addictive: drugs
- If you are an active photographer you meet many people, some of them inspire you: gurus
- Being in love with photography makes you curious about life and you experience what others only read about: books
- Photography is not about talent. It is more about practice and patience. Constantly improving: challenges.
So, enlightenment, which means for everyone something different, you may get by taking pictures. A lot of pictures.
For me photography, is compared to the movie Matrix – taking the blue pill.

Thank you, Laszlo Mihalka for the photo!
In more than 10 years of being in love with photography I have been taking at least 1 Million photos. At least! From all those photos I have around 5000 in my archive.
Never did I take pictures for memory.
But all of the photos let me remember those moments.
That picture you see I took in Santa Monica, California.
At that time I was studying acting.
I remember the moments before and after I took that picture, telling them to jump many times.
Once I got exactly that picture, I expressed loudly my joy.
But I don’t remember anything else what happened that day.
It’s like with many pictures!
If I don’t take new pictures, like in the recent time, I go through my archive to find something to post for my blog (and Facebook).
There is a lot of inspiration for articles and quotes.
This photo inspired me to write about memories.
"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."
If yes, then you know the benefits already.
If no, give it a try! It’s proven by science that visualizing can improve your performance, make you more confident and happier.
This quote and photo is dedicated to a very special person who is fighting an enemy (illness).
Now there are tough times, but she is on the way to win this fight!
"Was wir alleine nicht schaffen, dass schaffen wir dann zusammen."
(What we can't do alone, we will achieve together.)
Every day there are many opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you're doing when you let these negative emotions in, is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you.
