It started out as a moment to slow down, take a breath, and refortify for the end of the work day. And then it became more about the photography, the composition, balance, the light. And then photo manipulation to reproduce what I see--when a photo doesn't always quite succeed. Makes me happy when the colors are true, and the light is nearly perfect. It's more about the photo than the ritual, lately, and the concentration does provide focus, to shut out mental clutter for a while.
