To me, art is a process.

It is, it surely is! The actual art starts to be art when the creation of art begins when you get the idea and after that it never ends because there's always the viewers experiences that is part of the art process too.

And furthermore, when photographing with film, as a slow process where you have limited resources, it's also a bit like mindfulness. You concentrate on that one thing, one moment because you either don't want to use the whole film roll on one subject or because you have to catch that right moment and be ready for it.

And I agree with you on the Ferris wheel photos. They are excellent!
