These evocative images represent students' efforts at Miksang Photography (Miksang meaning "good eye" in Tibetan).

Through a series of basic assignments, the students focus attention on basic components of visual perception, light, colour, line, texture, pattern and simplicity of form. Contemplative photography bridges aesthetics with the ideals of meditation. Awareness of the 'present moment', attention to detail and finding beauty in the mundane come together in new perceptual appreciation of our environment.

These images are from a selection of photographs that will be on display at the Stephen E. Quinlan Building, Seneca@York Campus to inaugurate the new display area on the second floor, overlooking the Learning Commons.
