Diane: a very lovely presentation. I am putting it on my bibliography for a contemplative photo class I am offering next month in Toledo.

Have you seen the new book by Michael Woods on Contemplative Photography? I have studied with him and he has wonderfully Eastern approach. Then when I look at Thomas Merton's Geography of Holiness photos, I see the Christian/Eastern approach. That is the non-dualism of real contemplative photography. THanks so much!

Listening to my eyes -- wow -- that's powerful.

Your sense of light and shadow, the play between darkness and light -- is amazing!

I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation.

thank you!
