10 am – 5 pm
What do we see? How does what we see change as we regard it? How do we change in this encounter? Immerse yourself in a day of looking closely.
In this workshop, we will engage in different modes of attention, stimulating our receptivity and our agility of response. We’ll sit zazen. We’ll cultivate our close observation in a combination of writing and photography exercises. We’ll support each other’s work in an immersive, exploratory environment. Can our openness allow us a fresh regard for what is right in front of us?
To take photographs means to recognize—simultaneously and within a fraction of a second—both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one’s head, one’s eye and one’s heart on the same axis.
