Photography
Wayne Rowe California
State Polytechnic University, Pomona.
Driven by a passion
for photography and a fascination with the Zen Buddhist philosophy,
the author
conceptually and experientially examines the relationship between Zen Buddhism
and the art of photography.
Among the subjects
discussed:
What is the
relationship between haiku and photography?
What is the
relationship between the mind of the photographer while creating a photograph
and the Zen concept of the Empty Mind?
What role does
intuition and feeling play in photography?
In Zen?
Through examination
of these concepts and relationships,
the author explains
the heightened awareness, joy, and enlightenment he has experienced
through photography
and suggests ways that others may share in the creative process.
