MIKSANG: CONTEMPLATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY

Saturday-Sunday • October 28-29

Miksang, a Tibetan word for Good Eye, is a course in working with photography to explore the workings of our minds. Developed by Michael Wood and John McQuade under the supervision of Ozel Tenzin and Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, this is the first time Level 2 will be taught in Wisconsin. No previous photography experience necessary, though some comfort with a digital camera is best. Please bring your digital camera, flash cards, batteries and any extra cables you have. If you normally download to a laptop, bring your laptop along with any cables necessary to connect.
