This workshop integrates the practice of mindfulness or conscious awareness
with the art of photography. More than a course in photographic techniques, this
workshop is about perceiving the world around us, from tangible objects to
sensations and emotions. Ultimately, is about using your camera to nurture your
inner peace, wisdom and creativity.
You will improve your image-making skills, by virtue of being able to notice more
potential images all around you.
Some sessions include field trips, group and individual exercises, journaling, and
weekly/daily practices. This is a time for exploration, for reflection and for image
making.
We then share and talk about our images and our insights in a
supportive group environment; learning how to distill personal
wisdom from images and walking away with images that characterize our mindful
eye.
Digital cameras are highly recommended, but not required. Given that most photo
labs are able to save images to CD, even disposable cameras will suffice.
Remember that we are not making prints for competition, but to expand our
awareness.
All photographic levels are welcomed.
