About use of the name Contemplative Photography
The adult ed photo school where I attend just offered it's first class in your type of photography. The students and instructor found it great fun and highly successful. Seems I had been doing some contemplative work all along. Took over thirty years to find out much of what I have been shooting has a name other than "abstract". My instructor several times wondered if you have the name "Contemplative Photography" trademarked. What can we title our class(es)? "Contemplative", "Perceptive", something else? What might be OK with you or others with currently organized programs and publications?
That's great! There is no trademark on the name contemplative photography. Anyone is free to offer courses with that title.

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

OK, thanks. I'll pass your answer on to my instructor or program director once Fall classes start. I understand they plan to offer Contemplative Photography again in the Winter term.
