Contemplative Photography
Spring Dates Now Available
Comments from past participants:
"I have found my photographic voice." G.Y.
"To improve your images this much in two and a half days is extraordinary." J.H.
"It was an educational and "contemplative" weekend. Re-charging the batteries and learning something new. Often one feels that one is 'there', yet that one more extra step 'in the moment' brings about additional inner revelations." S.M.
"I came away with new learning and experience on how to "newly see" the world around me......a very thoughtful, soft tone for the workshop - one in which learning became interesting and fun - not intimidating." J.O.
"This was a very 'energizing' workshop for the soul." K.S.
"This workshop provided me personally with a wonderful opportunity to flex my creative muscle." R.M.

Workshop details:
The Introduction to Contemplative Photography workshop starts on Friday evening with an introductory talk on contemplative photography, an in-class exercise and a slide show.
Saturday and Sunday schedules for Introduction & Level II will consist of in-class presentations, practical exercises in the immediate vicinity, and a review of selected photos from all participants.
Who the workshop is for:
This workshop is intended for photographers of all level of expertise. Beginner photographers will learn that they can express themselves without an extensive knowledge of photography, while advanced photographers will have an opportunity to take a fresh look at making images.
Workshop description:
The Introduction to Contemplative Photography workshop, through visual exercises and assignments, is designed to teach us what it means to "see". The primary focus will be on synchronizing our mind and eyes to heighten visual awareness and really see the phenomenal world around us. This will allow us to create images that are more personal and more meaningful.
The emphasis of the workshop is on developing the ability to see and requires only basic knowledge of how to operate your camera. Technical and practical advice will be kept to a minimum but assistance will be provided to participants where needed, to ensure they can benefit fully from the workshop.
Contemplative Photography Level II workshop continues to expand on our experience of real seeing. As we practice and gain confidence in synchronizing our mind and eyes, we start to freely explore the phenomenal world around us.
Equipment:
Participants may use either a digital point and shoot camera or a DSLR.
Cost: $225.00 + Tax (Paypal, Major Credit Cards, or Cheque)
Maximum Number of Participants: 10 participants.
