Tea Cup
"It doesn't matter as much where you point your camera as where you point your heart."
Douglas Beasley
Last year I had the wonderful opportunity to spend a day with Doug Beasley learning about his philosophy on photography and practicing my camera skills as we explored the Twin Cities together. We started the day in his home in St. Paul where he showed me his studio and talked about the basics of photography. After lunch, in one of his favorite local hangouts, we took off to practice what we had spent the morning discussing. Doug is a gentle and wise teacher. I will always cherish the time we spent together.
Doug's book - Zen and the Art of Photography: A Guide to Mindfulness in Creativity has just been updated and rereleased. This gem of a book is filled with the basics of Zen, mindfulness, and creativity and how we can use these practices to guide our photography. You can order the book directly from his site.
