Photographer Mina Thevenin. Career, leisure and life projects…the long and short of it.
An artist is to light, as a mathematician is to numbers—both minds seeing the art of it all—in everything. My name is Mina (pronounced M E E N A), Mina Thevenin—photographer, writer, artist, naturalist—creator of Photography World™ @ photographyworld.org. Artistry begins in imagination and creativity, without bounds, and found me in my early youth with endearing conversations between myself, Teddy Rabbit, and my real-life cat who didn’t have a tail. Sometimes I think that such practice of using one’s imagination gives the generations who have grown up before computers a cornerstone advantage over many millennials in our culture, where often creativity is done for them; but I do think that for a few, the art of the story-teller and creating a story board (gaming software) is alive and well!
Photography, (clicking on these two links takes you to my website @ https://www.minathevenin.com/) writing, painting, sketching, music…become extensions of myself. I see and experience in these art forms, the beauty of creation and its gifts to us. I draw inspiration—and comfort—from engaging in art. For me it’s always been more about the process rather than the end result, yet the end is important, too.
Whether I am doing nature photography, plein air painting, or writing poetry on a boulder under a starry sky, nature gifts me just by being present in it.

To check out “the short of it”, several examples of my articles:
The past several years also put Photography World into print with two hard-bound books and two mag-books that I wrote. These books were inspired by the Photography World international and contributing photographers, and can be purchased (with proceeds going to support Photography World) at Amazon Books and Blurb Books.
