people
Question:
Hi, I realized that there are seldom people in miksang photos. Any reason for this, or do I just imagine it. Maybe because they either move or pose? Jutta
Answer:
It is hard to have fresh perceptions of people. We project so much on to them, so quickly. That's why the contemplative photography assigments start with simpler perceptions: color, texture, light. After training in these assignments, we can turn our fresh eyes to people. At that point we can take our experience to a whole other level.

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
