Slowing Down

Conditioned patterns and routines imposed by our modern day goal-oriented and fast-paced lifestyles act as filters across our minds, suppressing and blinding us to the abundance of beauty in the present moment. An occasional slowed down pace of life, mindfully soaking up impressions and expressions of our surroundings, will unveil for us simple moments of beauty that otherwise would have remained underexposed to our experience.

The collection of photographs presented here documents my spontaneous encounters with people around the world taking a moment to sit down, consciously decelerating their fast pace surroundings. The serenity and equanimity radiated by the resulting scenes, is a reminder and an attractive invitation to regularly slow down life, and actually, live life.
