Photography?
Contemplative photography is a
method for seeing and photographing
the world in fresh ways, to reveal
richness and beauty that is normally
hidden from view. Instead of
emphasizing subject matter or the
technical aspects of photography, the
contemplative approach teaches you
to see clearly, and make images based
on fresh perceptions.
