Contemplative Photography
Miksang is an art form centred on Contemplative Photography. Miksang is a Tibetan word that translates as “Good Eye” and is based on the Shambala and Dharma art teaching of the late meditation master, artist and scholoar Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche.According to the Miksang Institute for Contemplative Photography, miksang “is (at its most basic level) photography concerned with uncovering the truth of pure perception. We see something vivid and penetrating, and in that moment we can express our perception without making anything up – nothing added, nothing missing. Totally honest about what we see – straight shooting.“

Thanks Christine, glad you like it.
I particularly like the window – I could contemplate on that one for some time. Very nice.
The window in the window in the window… I like that one too
Each of these is a beautiful piece of art. I find the green window strangely three dimensional, my brain knows that it is through the porthole but I still feel it is this side of it!
