Week #17 Photo Challenge

"The bells and stones have voices but, unless they are struck, they will not sound"

Chuang Tzu

I would like to share a wonderful book that I've been reading. It's title is The Tao of Photography - Seeing Beyond Seeing by 
Philippe L. Gross and S.I. Shapiro. The book draws on Taoist philosophy and wisdom to illustrate how the art of living and photographic artistry is organically linked.

The book is broken up into five parts.
Part One provides a description go Taoistic photography.
Part Two focuses on the constructive nature of reality.
Part Three discusses barriers that can constrict awareness and ways of freeing awareness.
Part Four examines the role of method and education in artistry.
Part Five moves beyond the practice of photography and looks at using conscious camerawork as a way of enriching our everyday life.

I've read through the book twice and each time I gleam more insights and words of wisdom.
