\u201cA Gift of Beauty and Peace\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This presentation is for anyone with a camera, any cameras, and an interest in the non-technical side of photography. The goal is use the camera to enhance the quality of life by strengthening the capacity for visual discovery. They will learn:\"zen\"<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. True joy of photography lies in the process, in visual discovery and freedom of expression, not in tools and imitation.<\/li>\n
  2. Everything has beauty when preconceptions and selfing stay clear out of the way.<\/li>\n
  3. Yes, you don\u2019t have to travel long distances, climb mountains or wake up before sunrise to bring home the bacon\u2014Photographs that make the heart sing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It is between 60-75 minutes in length and consists of two parts. Part one is a hands-on \u201cRelaxed Awareness\u201d <\/em>exercise to foster a mind state known as the Zone<\/strong> in sport, Flow<\/strong> in positive psychology, and Samadhi<\/strong> in meditation. Part two, a PowerPoint presentation entitled \u201cThe ABC of Visual Design,<\/em>\u201d is about the pictorial space and the relationship of objects in the visual landscape to one another, to the space they are in, and to the viewer. About 30 images, abstract and representational, taken with regular cameras in and around Washington Metropolitan will be used to make the points.<\/p>\n
