About Daniel Smith

Hello, I'm Daniel Thomas Smith. I originally trained as a scientist, and I now work as a photographer. I’ve spent a lot of my life examining and looking. I’ve been a meditator for about 15 years and have been studying Zen Buddhism for the last 6 years with Zen master Julian Daizan Skinner Roshi. The study of Zen has given me so much. It has reduced my anxiety and depression, helped me make sense of the world and my place in it, and shown me that me and life are one inseparable process. I’ve shifted from seeing one dimensionally to three dimensionally, turned away from drama and towards play, moved from feeling alone to being connected.
