Thank you so much for sharing your work and this post from your time in Eric's "Lighting With Intent" mentorship, Beena ... wonderful!

For anyone who has read this far, consider mentoring someone else here (or more) ... some people don't even know where to start with their cameras and you could be the change they need in their lives. Even the smallest bit of knowledge can be passed on and you can create your mentorship in many different ways. Imagine the feeling of taking someone to their next level, paying forward the knowledge you've received and watching someone blossom with enthusiasm and accomplishment!

When I heard an announcement by the captain of our Space ship as below:
This is your last chance to hit the bathroom before reaching gravity zero. If you are still on top Mt Everest or aboard ISS, let us know and we'll pick you up on the way. We are not heading for a black hole, but in case we do let the zombies with flashing eyes out first!
Not even in the wildest of my dreams I imagined that it was going to be as exciting as this first announcement! I am so glad I took some cues from the interest that the g+ folks showed in flocking to this mentorship like honey bees.. Well I was one of the first bees who got lucky :))
Well I do hope they are not going to kick me out for quoting something that's inside the community :)
Eric had led us through a complicated maze of insightful learning with his great sense of humor and deep knowledge of what it means to Light with Intent. He told us several times that he was not going to tell us what/how to do something in our assignments.. instead, help us achieve/fulfill our intent with insightful guidance and sharing of high level knowledge that I could not have visualized to have access to until our journey started.
First week we were literally walking in the dark looking for what to light with a torch light and that got me into an amazement thinking what if I had a teacher in school who would have asked me to do this activity. What little children do, playing with light and shadows, creating shapes, I realized how exciting that could be, how exciting learning could be and how simple it could be to learn the principles of science!
Each week that followed, all through the 8 weeks were pure magic, some days, I found myself waking up at 3 am to light my brain with intent with out any one to disturb me in the house. Final assignment was the one where we were to Go create free hand with what ever we have so far learned. I have chosen to do High school senior portraits for two of my daughter's friends free of cost, they told me otherwise they would have got just one studio shot and two standard portraits for the school year book.
This gave me so much of satisfaction and I realized all the concepts fusing together in my brain at the right time, although I may have forgotten few things like using matrix metering where I should have used spot metering. Well... this is a journey that I hope and intend to continue with thought out intent :)
The mentors/captains that G+ Mentorship Program for Photographers hand pick are just truly outstanding and for each flight, they have a well equipped knowledgeable crew of moderators to make your flight as unique and unforgettable as possible! And hats off to my fellow participants, some of the work they created were pure magic that made me want to do much better and to approach something with a different mind set.
And I am once again humbled and very thankful for this great opportunity that has been keeping me inspired to the core! Thank you Eric, all the moderators and every one else who were kind enough to give me their valuable feedback on what I was creating!
I would no more be drooling over outstanding portraits (just kidding.. that's never going to go away) that has people looking at me with eyes that challenge me and allure me, I have opened a pandora's box and I am in my world of amazement :)
