Product Description
Restorative justice pioneer Howard Zehr is also an accomplished photographer. He begins his latest book with a confession-"I have written this book in part to encourage myself to slow down, to heighten my imagination, to renew myself while I gain a new view of the creation and the creator." With this book, Zehr makes a gift to anyone who would like to couple photography with seeing and thinking more deeply. In each chapter he offers a Purpose, a Problem, and an Activity with a camera in order to "practice mindfulness." You'll not need a fancy camera, but if you have one it won't hurt. Zehr's chapter-by-chapter exercises are aimed at heightening visual awareness and imagination-all while doing good and working for justice. Zehr knows the risks of spending oneself: "This book is part of The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding series because seekers of justice and peace are often so committed to their cause that they take too little time to reflect and to appreciate the world around them. These ideas and exercises have given me a framework and encouraged my own ongoing spiritual discipline through the medium of photography." The author gratefully acknowledges the numerous authors and publishers who granted permission to reprint excerpts in this book.

Reviews - What do our customers think?
 | sorry, not for me Jun 6, 2008 |
| This book was recommended to me and I really hoped for so much more than it was. I read it on the subway in one go and never picked it up again. I have a background in fine art and this was just too basic for me - but someone who is just getting into photography - especially someone who feels a need to learn how to express through the camera what they feel and see before pressing the shutter....these exercises/insights might be helpful. I donated my book to our local library...hopefully it will find the right person. I gave it 3 stars - even though it's not for me I can see how some of these ideas could help others. | | | Write your own review about The Little Book Of Contemplative Photography (Little Books of Justice & Peacebuilding)
