Professor, advisor, and restorative justice pioneer Howard Zehr talks about contemplative photography, its meditative approach to life and subject and how that approach can change our predatory relationship to the greater world.
"When I have the camera, I see things in the world that I would miss otherwise." - Howard Zehr
Howard wrote the book The Little Book of Contemplative Photography.

Howard's book on people serving life sentences called Doing Life is a beautiful example of seeing subjects in relationship and in a new way.

Taking Contemplative Photography was life altering. I suppose I didn't realize it until after the class. The gift of artists to communicate is so heavy when done consciously and with purpose, this book is an example of that.
It is a rewiring of the brain - which is what Howard does on so many topics, including RJ!! It's terrifying to do that!
