Celebrate the moment, don't document it
Why put down your camera on 17th July?
Non- photography day is an effort on my part to revive the moment by putting down the camera. It is a day to think about how life exists, in essence and not appearance and to understand the inadequacy of the photograph in describing this essence, to bring awareness of the perils of living through the view finder or the display screen…
Non Photography day is a calendar sculpture, a day formed for action and awareness. Taking part in non-photography day is simple, leave your camera or recording equipment at home and abandon your photo shoots. Whatever your activities that day, appreciate the life of the moment you are in rather than documenting the appearance of it. You might want to sit down and read some of the books that have inspired me in my views to form the day- these are listed below- or just enjoy the moments your activities provide.
However, if you feel enthusiastic about the day, you could join the 'non-photography police' and on the 17th July make others donning camera aware of non-photography day...
