The Art of Patience: Saswat Panda on Why Ethical Observation Matters More Than Viral Speed, It Is the Key to Authentic Nature Photography
Georgia, US, 22nd December 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In a digital era driven by instant feedback, rapid content cycles, and the constant pursuit of viral success, nature photographer and environmental advocate Saswat Panda is urging photographers to slow down. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Saswat believes that patience is not merely a technical skill in wildlife photography, it is a moral responsibility. As online platforms increasingly reward shock value and immediacy, he argues that authentic nature photography depends on restraint, respect, and quiet observation.
Saswat Panda has built a career around documenting wildlife and ecosystems with care and intention. Drawing on his background in environmental studies and conservation outreach, he views photography as a bridge between science, storytelling, and ethics. According to Saswat, the growing pressure to capture dramatic moments quickly has pushed some photographers to compromise animal welfare, sometimes baiting wildlife or forcing interactions that cause stress and long-term harm.
The Cost of Chasing Virality
Saswat believes the rush for attention online has changed how many people approach nature photography. With social media algorithms favoring frequent uploads and sensational imagery, photographers often feel compelled to produce striking content at any cost. In wildlife settings, this urgency can translate into intrusive behavior that disrupts natural patterns.
He points to practices such as baiting predators, crowding nesting sites, or repeatedly flushing animals for flight shots as examples of how impatience can cross ethical boundaries. While these methods may generate dramatic images, Saswat stresses that they erode trust between humans and wildlife and undermine the integrity of the photographer’s work.
Patience as an Ethical Imperative
For Saswat, patience is inseparable from ethics. He emphasizes that waiting, observing, and allowing nature to unfold on its own terms leads to images that are not only more honest but also more meaningful. Rather than forcing a moment, he advocates for earning it through time spent in the field.
Saswat often returns to the same locations repeatedly, sometimes over weeks or months, before pressing the shutter with intention. This approach allows animals to behave naturally and reduces the photographer’s footprint within sensitive ecosystems. He believes that when photographers prioritize patience, they align their creative goals with the well-being of their subjects.
Learning to Observe, Not Interrupt
A central principle in Saswat’s philosophy is quiet observation. He encourages photographers to treat wildlife encounters as privileges rather than opportunities for domination. By minimizing movement, noise, and interference, photographers can witness behaviors that rarely appear when animals feel threatened.
Saswat notes that some of his most compelling images emerged after long periods of stillness, watching subtle interactions that would have been missed in a hurried approach. These moments, he says, reveal the complexity and vulnerability of the natural world in ways that staged encounters never can.
Authentic Images Tell Deeper Stories
According to Saswat, authenticity is the natural outcome of patience. Images captured without manipulation or stress carry an emotional weight that resonates with viewers. They invite empathy rather than spectacle and encourage a deeper understanding of wildlife as living beings rather than visual props.
His photographs often focus on quiet scenes: a bird pausing mid-preen, an animal navigating its habitat at dawn, or shifting weather across an untouched landscape. These images may not rely on dramatic action, but they communicate a sense of presence and respect that aligns with conservation values.
A Background Rooted in Conservation
Before fully committing to photography, Saswat worked in grassroots conservation and nonprofit outreach. This experience shaped his understanding of ecological balance and human impact. It also reinforced his belief that photographers carry responsibility, especially when their images reach wide audiences.
His academic training in environmental studies further informs his approach. By understanding species behavior and habitat needs, Saswat is better equipped to anticipate moments without causing disruption. He sees this knowledge as essential for photographers who want to work ethically in natural spaces.
Teaching Patience to the Next Generation
Education plays a major role in Saswat’s mission. Through workshops and field sessions, he teaches aspiring photographers that patience is a learned discipline. He emphasizes ethical decision-making alongside technical skills, encouraging participants to evaluate not just how an image looks, but how it was made.
Saswat often challenges students to spend extended time observing without photographing. This exercise, he says, helps recalibrate expectations and builds a deeper connection with the environment. By slowing down, photographers develop intuition and respect that ultimately improve their work.
Social Media and Responsible Influence
While Saswat maintains an active presence on platforms like Instagram and YouTube, he is mindful of how content shapes behavior. He uses these channels to discuss wildlife ethics, field challenges, and the unseen effort behind responsible images. By being transparent about his process, he hopes to counter the illusion that impactful nature photography happens quickly.
He encourages fellow photographers to use their platforms thoughtfully, highlighting process over instant results. Saswat believes that normalizing patience online can help shift cultural expectations and reduce pressure on wildlife.
Still Wild and the Value of Time
Saswat’s upcoming photo book, Still Wild, reflects his long-term approach. The project focuses on endangered species and community-led conservation efforts across the American South. Each image is the result of sustained engagement rather than fleeting encounters.
The book underscores his belief that meaningful conservation storytelling requires time. By investing in places and relationships, photographers can produce work that supports awareness and advocacy rather than fleeting attention.
A Call to Slow Down
Saswat Panda’s message is clear: in an instant-gratification world, patience is a radical and necessary choice. He urges photographers to resist shortcuts and consider the lasting impact of their actions. For him, ethical patience is not a limitation, it is the foundation of trust, authenticity, and powerful visual storytelling.
As environmental challenges intensify, Saswat believes photographers have an opportunity to lead by example. By slowing down, observing carefully, and honoring the lives they document, photographers can create images that endure beyond trends and contribute to a more respectful relationship with the natural world.

Navy Veteran and Prison Counselor Releases The Decision, a Motivational Book About Hope After Isolation
Drawing on real-life experiences, Sean James Tallerico delivers a moving story about survival and rediscovery when the world abandons you.
Washington, DC, Washington, United States, 22nd Dec 2025 – Sean James Tallerico is proud to announce the release of his new motivational book, The Decision, now available on Amazon. This powerful and moving story asks a question that many people fear to imagine: What if the world turned its back on you? Through one man’s journey from exile to empowerment, Tallerico shows how strength, hope, and courage can rise from even the darkest situations.
In The Decision, readers meet a man who tests positive for a deadly disease that never leaves his system. The world sees him as dangerous, someone to fear and avoid. He is exiled to an island where others like him have been sent to die, forgotten by family, friends, and society. Yet, instead of surrendering to despair, he begins to see new meaning in his life. With time, he discovers purpose, builds connections, and learns that even in isolation, people can create community, care, and dignity.
This motivational book speaks to anyone who has ever felt abandoned or left behind. It reminds readers that even when life feels unfair, there is always a reason to keep going. Through struggle and self-reflection, the main character learns that survival is not just about living another day, it’s about living with purpose. Readers can connect with this message of resilience and rediscovery.
Sean James Tallerico’s writing is simple, direct, and deeply human. He draws readers into the emotions of the story without using heavy or complicated language. Each page carries a message of determination and hope. The setting, a remote island of outcasts, becomes a symbol for anyone who has ever felt cut off from the world. As the story unfolds, it grows from a tale of exile into one of strength, leadership, and belonging.
Unlike many books in the same category, The Decision stands out because it combines several powerful themes in one story. It is a man versus man, man versus nature, and man versus government story all at once. Readers see how fear, control, and misunderstanding can separate people, but also how courage, wisdom, and shared purpose can bring them back together. Tallerico challenges readers to ask themselves: If you were given the tools to build a new life, would you live with purpose, or give up in despair?
This motivational book is also a reflection of the author’s own life journey. Sean James Tallerico grew up in the San Fernando Valley and describes himself as a once “typical knucklehead” who didn’t always value what he had. His path led him to join the Navy, where long hours at sea gave him time to think, dream, and imagine stories like The Decision. After serving in Pearl Harbor and completing two six-month deployments, he returned home, met his wife, and later joined the Department of Corrections.
For 26 years, Tallerico worked in one of the most demanding and dangerous professions, as an Officer in California’s prisons and Correctional Counselor. He encountered some of the most difficult individuals in society and learned about the choices that shape people’s lives. His work gave him a deep understanding of human behavior, survival, and redemption, insights that now influence his storytelling.
After decades of real-world experience, Tallerico brings readers a story that feels both emotional and authentic. The Decision is not about fantasy or escape; it’s about facing life’s hardest moments with honesty and courage. Readers will see pieces of themselves in its pages, times when they felt lost, afraid, or alone, and will find comfort in its message: no one is beyond hope.
Tallerico’s first literary achievement proves that it’s never too late to share your voice. His goal is simple: to reach readers who need encouragement to keep going, even when life doesn’t go as planned. His book is a reminder that strength is not measured by what happens to us, but by how we respond.
If you enjoy stories about survival, resilience, and purpose, The Decision will inspire you. This motivational book belongs on the shelf of anyone looking for a fresh perspective on hope and perseverance. It invites readers to think, reflect, and believe in their own ability to overcome challenges.
The Decision by Sean James Tallerico is now available for purchase on Amazon.

In “Just Do It. My Three Life’s,” Mario Schwarzkopf reveals how he rebuilt his life after loss, cancer, and hardship.
New York, United States, 22nd Dec 2025 – Life often brings challenges that feel impossible to overcome. Divorce, loss, illness, and starting over can leave anyone feeling hopeless. But in his inspiring new book, Just Do It. My Three Life’s, author Mario Schwarzkopf proves that even in the darkest times, there is always a way back to light. Now available on Amazon in ebook, paperback, and hardcover, this heartfelt story takes readers through one man’s journey of survival, courage, and second chances.
Just Do It. My Three Life’s falls into the popular Biographies & Memoirs genre. Unlike many books that only highlight the victories, Schwarzkopf opens his heart to share the struggles, the mistakes, and the moments when giving up seemed easier than going on. With raw honesty and surprising humor, he tells the story of not one life, but three very different ones, shaped by choices, fate, and resilience.
The book takes readers into Mario’s first life in Germany, where he grew up in the 1980s and served in both the German and U.S. military. It follows him through fatherhood and the heartbreak of divorce that left him with nothing. From there, readers step into his second life in the Netherlands, where he rebuilt from zero, starting over with just 70 euros in his pocket and a steelworker’s job. Alongside his second wife Monique and their beloved dogs Emma and Annabelle, Mario found love, stability, and laughter again.
His third life reflects a man who faced cancer, deep loss, and yet chose to fight on with courage. Through each chapter, Mario invites readers to walk beside him as he falls, stands again, and learns to embrace life fully. This is why Just Do It. My Three Life’s fits so well within the Biographies & Memoirs category, it is not just about events, but about the human spirit that keeps rising.
Many Biographies & Memoirs are written to entertain or inspire, but Mario’s work does both at once. It’s not polished to perfection; it’s real. He does not shy away from pain. He does not hide his failures. Instead, he shows how even ordinary people, with no roadmap or safety net, can create extraordinary lives when they refuse to give up.
Mario’s story is more than personal, it speaks to anyone who has faced rock bottom. Whether someone has gone through a divorce, battled illness, or simply felt stuck in life, this book offers hope. The message is clear: no matter how many times you fall, there is always a way to stand again. Readers of Biographies & Memoirs who value authenticity will find themselves deeply connected to his journey.
Mario Schwarzkopf was born in Western Germany in the late 1960s. He grew up during a time of cultural change and carried a strong will that sometimes led him down difficult paths. Yet no matter the setback, he always found the strength to rise. In 2006, after losing everything, he moved to the Netherlands to begin again. There, he built a new life through determination, hard work, and love.
Alongside his personal story, Mario brings professional experience as a steelworker, a soldier, and now a student, starting in 2025 at the University of Applied Sciences in Leeuwarden to earn a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering. His life is proof that it is never too late to start again. Like many authors in Biographies & Memoirs, Mario writes not only to tell his own story but also to give courage to those who may need it most.

Just Do It. My Three Life’s is now available worldwide on Amazon. Readers can choose their preferred format:

For fans of Biographies & Memoirs, this book is more than a story. It’s a reminder that no matter how far you fall, life always offers another chance. Mario Schwarzkopf’s message is simple but powerful: “It doesn’t matter how hard or deep you fall, there is always a way out. You just have to believe in yourself and do whatever it takes to get back on your feet.”

Author Lamar Steen Brings the Alaskan Wilderness to Life in His Gripping New Memoir “My Great Alaskan Adventure”
This powerful true story invites readers to discover what it really takes to live off the grid and find purpose, strength, and peace in nature’s toughest setting.
New York, United States, 22nd Dec 2025 – Lamar Steen is excited to announce the release of his new memoir, My Great Alaskan Adventure, now available on Amazon. This deeply personal memoir takes readers on a powerful journey through Alaska’s wild heart, where life is raw, nature is unforgiving, and every day brings both challenge and wonder.
In My Great Alaskan Adventure, Lamar shares what it was really like to live far from modern comfort and convenience. His memoir opens the door to a world without running water, electricity, or indoor plumbing, a life where survival depends on skill, courage, and connection to the land. Readers will follow Lamar as he hunts moose and caribou, fishes icy rivers, grows his own garden, and gathers wild berries under the northern sun. Each story shines a light on what it truly means to be self-reliant and to find peace in the quiet strength of nature.
A Story of Courage and Connection
This is not just another wilderness story. It’s a memoir about determination, discovery, and the bond between people and the land they love. Lamar’s writing captures both the harshness and the beauty of Alaska, the bitter cold of winter nights, the joy of summer’s endless light, and the small, powerful moments that define a life lived with purpose. Readers will come away with a new respect for the simple things we often take for granted and a deeper understanding of what it means to thrive away from the noise of the modern world.
Throughout the book, Lamar’s voice remains honest, warm, and filled with the kind of wisdom that comes only from experience. He doesn’t just tell what happened, he shares how those years in the wild changed him. His memoir becomes a reflection on resilience and the human spirit, reminding us that adventure isn’t only found in far-off places; it’s in the courage to follow your heart and live the life you believe in.
About the Author
Lamar Steen is no stranger to hard work and determination. Long before he set out for Alaska, he was an avid outdoorsman with a curious mind and a strong sense of independence. A graduate of the University of Texas with a degree in Electrical Engineering, Lamar has owned several businesses including general and electrical contracting, real estate, and sales representation. At one time, he even ran the largest home inspection business in Alaska. His practical knowledge, combined with his love of nature, gives his writing both credibility and heart.
In My Great Alaskan Adventure, Lamar shows that living off the grid is not just about surviving, it’s about learning to appreciate the raw beauty of the world and the lessons that come with simplicity. His memoir invites readers to slow down, to breathe, and to remember that life’s richest rewards often come when we step away from the rush of modern living.
The Inspiration Behind the Book
Lamar was encouraged by family and friends to write this book. They had heard his stories and wanted others to experience the same sense of wonder and inspiration. As Lamar explains, this book is his way of leaving something meaningful behind, a gift to his family, friends, and anyone who feels the call of the wild. His journey is personal, but its message is universal: with courage and heart, anyone can find adventure and purpose, no matter where they are.
My Great Alaskan Adventure is the kind of story that speaks to dreamers, doers, and anyone who has ever looked at a map of Alaska and felt a spark of curiosity. Whether you are drawn to stories of survival, the power of nature, or the triumph of the human spirit, this memoir will leave you feeling inspired and grateful for the strength within us all.
