Summary

With Effortless Beauty, Julie DuBose brings a new perspective to photography. She talks in an intimate way not just about how we express our experience with our camera, but about a whole new and fresh way to experience our visual world altogether. She guides us through the process of seeing without our usual habitual ways of experiencing what we see, so that we can have vivid, mind-stopping visual perceptions, and express those perceptions exactly as we see them. Julie DuBose has been a practitioner of Miksang Contemplative Photography since 1998. She studied with Michael Wood, the founder of the Miksang Training course of study and practice, and began teaching courses with him in 2005. Together they have developed the Miksang Training curriculum and have taught in North America and Europe. In 2009 Julie co-founded The Miksang Institute for Contemplative Photography in Boulder, Colorado. In addition to courses held in various locations in the US and Canada, each summer The Miksang Institute hosts a three week intensive course of study on the principles and practice of contemplative photography. Miksang Publications was founded in 2010 to produce print and digital books on the practice of Miksang Contemplative Photography and related art forms. Effortless Beauty is the first offering of Miksang Publications. http://effortlessbeautybook.com http://miksang.com http://miksang.com/miksanglife/ http://miksang.com/Michael-Collection/index.html http://ibarionex.net/thecandidframe/ info@thecandidframe.com

1:21.2	When I'm having a really good day of shooting, I like to be in this place which I sometimes call the zone. It's a sort of state of mind where I'm not so much preoccupied with making a
1:26.6	great shot every time I snap the shutter much preoccupied with making a great shot every
1:27.9	time I snap the shutter, nor am I worried about the shot that I missed maybe 15 or 20 minutes
1:33.1	before.
1:34.1	It's really a sensibility of just being in the moment and really enjoying it, seeing the

1:44.0	So that even if I don't come
1:45.6	back with a great photograph, I come away with having enjoyed being out making photographs of
1:52.3	people, places, and things. It's just enjoying the process of seeing. And several years ago,
1:59.6	I had the opportunity to interview a photographer Michael
2:02.5	Wood, who introduced me to this principle of mxon, which is sort of a meditative practice
2:08.0	revolving around photography. And it resonated with me because a lot of the things that he
