Tuan Pham’s next workshop, Photography as Zen Art, will be held at Green Spring Gardens, Alexandria, VA.  Using Green Spring Gardens as inspiration, the program combines mindfulness meditation and digital photography to cultivate clarity of vision and mind. It seeks (1) to train the eyes to see and enjoy the diversity in nature in a new way; (2) to loosen attachment to the self and other habitual tendencies, and (3) to create images with balance of beauty and feelings that fit one’s own artistic personality. Participation in the workshop requires a camera with tripod and submission of homework.

Date and time: Saturdays, Oct. 17, 24, 31 and Nov./14,  9:30 am -1:00 pm
