HT1960 - Being Open, Being Receptive

Lao Tzu advices us to go with the flow. That doesn't mean give up free will, but it does mean that fighting nature can easily become a losing battle. In photography, that implies using the light as it is, using the subjects that fall in our laps, being receptive to the photographic opportunities before us rather than assume the dictatorial response of trying to bend nature to fit our aesthetic expectations.
