The Eternal goes photoshooting

This morning I woke up to a misty, frosty and sunny day. Perfect for shooting some great pics. Decided quickly for a quick breakfast and then I biked out of town.

Started to shoot pretty soon as even mondane views make a nice pic in fog and sun and frost.

I spent about two hours photographing. Last place was a lake where I stayed for a while. Then the magic was gone. Frost and mist dissappeared.

When I led my bike back down the dirtroad I suddenly stopped. What the……….. ! What happened actually? I remembered a great time, looking for pics, the joy in experimenting with the settings to make it show what I wanted. I also remembered that at one point I heard myself saying “I want to look too” and trying to get “myself” in position to take back my eyes. Someone else was using it.

Then I realised “I” had been sidestepped the entire time. Being reduced to merely a sidekick. Being allowed to watch what happened but was not in charge. The Eternal Emptiness was using the body, the eyes.

I know it is often said that the Absolute has no whishes, but today, surely, it enjoyed itself. The Great Emptiness having fun.

Later on today I will post some pics on my photoblog. Then we will see if the Eternal is a good photographer.
