Travel further with TRAVEL NOTES >

A question:

Will traveling actually help improve your photography?

I think so. Not directly, but this is generally what happens:

When you travel, you focus on making photos, you shoot more, and thus you learn more, and improve your photography!

Travel isn’t necessary

You don’t need to travel to improve your photography, but travel certainly helps.

I believe one of the best ways to improve is having the ability to focus and concentrate.

Let us say we want to improve our photography. How do we focus and concentrate? Too often our ‘real lives’ (work, family, etc) distracts us. We cannot 100% dedicate our energies to photography.

Mindset

How do we get into a ‘traveling mindset’? Or perhaps a photo-focused mindset?

I do believe some form of ‘creative isolation’ is highly beneficial. I know that living in Vietnam for a year was insanely beneficial to my creative growth. Why? Being able to think ‘outside of the box’ of American-centric thinking. Also being away from the politics and silly-drama of media-Trump-fakenews-sensationalism.

Zen creation

Perhaps then — travel is a form of zen-like focus. Perhaps when we are in the zen zone we can truly evolve, thrive, and take our photography/artistry to the next level.
