June 6th - 8

A camera is an amazing tool to help focus our minds on the here-and-now, especially for those of us who have trouble sitting still for ordinary meditation. The attention we pay to things when we see them through a camera lens is the beginning of a moving meditation intertwining you, the light and the subject as co-creators of a photographic discovery. The aim is to lose oneself in the doing, taking quite delight in every aspect of making a picture.

We will perform a series of gentle, exploratory exercises to free ourselves of the frustrating habit of putting the end result first (the finished photo). Making pictures is an art of the moment-to-moment discovery; not simply the manufacturing of pictures.

Beautiful, meaningful images result quite naturally when the photographer leaves behind the mind and sees only with eye and heart.
