Contemplative photography encourages us to turn off the noise and distraction continuously streaming from our conscious mind, and instead, be present in the moment, and without prejudice or expectation, be open to seeing beauty and visual interest in the mundane.

I’m taking a Mindfulness in Photography class at my local community art school. The discipline is about “seeing’ first, before the brain jumps to conceptualizing, comparing past experience, and any number of internal or external distractions. How often had I missed seeing the beauty of the morning light falling over the dew collecting on an iris leaf in my koi pond?

Cheers,
