Learning Contemplative Photography
Question:
Hello. I came accross a book called the Practice of Contemplative Photograpy and I am very interested to learn this technique. Do I have to attend any workshops or courses to learn this or can I follow it on your web site?
Answer:
This site is a supplement to the The Practice of Contemplative Photography. It was concieved of as a place for people to sample the approach, and as a host for photographs and conversations for the community of contemplative photographers.
You can learn about the practice from this site and from the book. The two are meant to be a complete introduction. If you want to do workshops to go further with the practice, you are more than welcome to do so.

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
