The discipline of not using words, and of taking space in solitude.
The plan is that at least every second Saturday, my discipline is to be somewhere before dawn - to wait for the dawn, to watch and to to use photography as a way of not thinking about it - just looking and feeling for it. Listening for God.
So today was the first test. Out to Whale Beach, which holds some significance for myself and a few of my friends, clamber around the rocks, a quick nod to some inquisitive fishermen - and see how this day would bring itself into Sydney.

I don't plan to write about it very much - but you might start to see a raft of dawn shots appearing here every week or two.

Outstanding pics Jono. I love the one you posted and the one that shows the pre-dawn lights on the other side (if that makes sense).
thanks diamond, I know the other one you mean - and have to say I've been pleasantly surprised how it turned out.
Fantastic work Jono, and what better way to start the day than at Whale Beach!
THAT is a fantastic plan Jono, and an equally fantastic picture.
If only my own camera wasn't in Mooloolaba I might take your inspiration and get up early too... :)
Mooloolaba shamoolabah, get up early anyway and photograph it with your minds eye, that's what the whole contemplation thing is about right?
