Self Portrait © 2008 Bo Mackison

Actually a portrait of my Sherpa and me. Ambling along the streets of Madison, always on the lookout for a shot. Paying attention to anything and everything. So much to see and absorb, and so much more I see with that darn camera in my hands.

Now I’m working on paying attention, being mindful, when I am sitting quietly, even without my friendly prop, the camera.  Being grateful. Being compassionate. Being happy. Concentrating on the present. Making a difference in small ways – I’m figuring it will add up in the long run.
