Drawing from the Dharma Art teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, we will explore the discipline and delight of Miksang (Tibetan for “good eye”), or direct seeing – perception-based photography. This program will help us develop the ability to synchronize the mind and eye so that habitual patterns of seeing and labeling dissolve in a moment of stunning, vivid perception. Through visual exercises and assignments, we will cultivate the confidence to directly connect with what we see and then precisely express that experience with our cameras. Please bring a digital camera and a portable flash drive.
