The advent of the digital camera has made photography much more accessible to everyone. But what do we take photos of? Snapshots of friends and family? Scenic views? Beautiful sunsets?
In this class we’ll use the camera to look at the world differently. Drawing on contemplative photography practices, we’ll discover the beauty and mystery in the ordinary. This is not a technique class, although we might touch on technique as we seek to refine an image. This is not a composition class, although we might consider small tweaks to an image to improve its composition. This IS a class where you’ll practice becoming quiet inside so that you can truly see what’s in front of you and discover the wealth of imagery that’s always right there if you just pay attention.
The first (5 hour) session we’ll do a series of exercises with and without the camera to help you begin to look at the world differently. For the remaining 5 two-hour sessions, we’ll review images you bring to class in response to thematic weekly assignments. During the final session we’ll invite friends and family to a slide show of each person’s favorite images from the class.
