Study, patience, discomfort, waiting, and more patience.

Thanks, Godfrey. I’ve imagined that it’s not unlike hunting, which I did a fair 
bit of when I was a kid.

when you asked the secret of wildlife (photography), it tickled a thought that has stuck with me for decades — a comment by Gary Snyder (naturalist poet and student of Zen) that he thought Zen had in part developed out of the state of mind of the primeval hunter; for me, developing patience and openness to raw experience are a big part of my contemplative approach to photography
