Great photography book with the theme of zen and Buddhism. The photographs are amazing. The tips on camera mechanics are very useful.

Inspirational!

David shares his precious techniques in an unique and easy way.

If you follow me on Instagram (CindyBokma) then you know that I love to take photos. When I travel, I always have my camera with me and when I’m not traveling then I am seeking out places to visit so I can take pictures.

This book combines everything I am seeking, mindfulness, creativity, and photography.

Synopsis:



Zen Camera is a photography and mindfulness program that guides you to the creativity at your fingertips–literally–requiring nothing more than your smartphone or any other type of camera. Over the course of six lessons gleaned from the author’s 40 years of teaching photography, you’ll learn how to use the camera in your pocket to explore self-expression as a photographer and produce photographs that are both wildly beautiful and uniquely your own.

Gorgeously illustrated with 60-75 full-color photographs, David Ulrich’s lessons combine mindfulness principles with concrete exercises and the basic mechanics of taking a good photograph. He guides you through a program of taking photos every day (called your Daily Record), similar to a journaling practice. He also offers profound insight into the nature of seeing, art, and attention, pushing you to live more authentically.

I am going to sit down this afternoon and read more of this book, I love it! Highly recommended.

A cool concept with a good execution. A lot of fun.
