Slow Please

Go slow please.  On a multi-use walking / bike path like this one, it is pretty obvious why this was stenciled on the asphalt.  But after I shot this, I started to think about other ways I should take heed of the sign.  Here are just a few thoughts (in no particular order):  Be slow to speak before thinking.  Be slow to anger.  Walk at a more leisurely pace – I’d see things I may miss rushing around.  Stop to read a book or the paper once in while instead of go go go!  Take deliberate sips of a fine single malt.  Be unhurried when spending time with family and friends.

Do you have any thoughts on ways to slow down, and go slow?

Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros - it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo. In the end, it is all about telling compelling stories.
