Is Your Book Available in a Download Format

Question: 

I'd like to download your book, but I haven't seen "The Practice of Contemplative Photography: Seeing the World with Fresh Eyes" anywhere in PDF or Epub. Is that option available? Thanks

Answer: 

I'm afraid it is not available digitally. The publishers do not feel the technology is available to make a suitably high quality edition.

Question: 

To be completely present with out judgement is when I capture this. To be free at the moment with eye and mind as one - Do you see texture?

Answer: 

The assignments are like stop signs. Seeing texture the mind switches from conception mode into perception mode. Then eye and mind are one.

The Book

“This is not your usual ‘how to be a better photographer’ book. It takes you into deeper water. It requires investigation and commitment to areas new to you. Among other things, you will think about perception in new ways. If you read this book with care, and without skepticism, it will radically expand your thinking, seeing, and photography.”

—Jay Maisel, photographer
and author of Light on America
