I just love this book. Howard Zehr lays out the practice and path of contemplative photography in a short 75 pages (for only $4.95, too!) in a straightforward, entertaining, and logical way. As a contemplative photographer and a teacher of contemplative photography in the Miksang Buddhist tradition, I am indebted to the author for this wonderful offering. Contemplative photography is about seeing, about joining with the world, about dropping our agendas and simply learning to relax and appreciate the arising moment. It is not, as Zehr points out, about taking a shot, creating an image, or manufacturing a photograph.Howard Zehr presents photography as an opportunity to "stimulate our imaginations, to develop our intuitive and aesthetic sensibilities, to gain new insights. It is an invitation to stop and look and be refreshed." With simple descriptions of the process and straightforward exercises, he clearly outlines the path of contemplative photography.
