Miksang is a Tibetan word that translates to something like “good eye” or “unstained” or “pure” eye.

But this could happen anywhere, anytime, for anyone. In could happen in Paris. Or Tokyo. It can also happen in our bathroom, the car, during a meeting a work – in our everyday, ordinary world.

I’ve found this approach to be more than an an art or kind of photography. I don’t even think of myself as a “photographer.” Rather, it’s a way of living, being, and engaging directly with our world and appreciating it…as it is.

And you don’t need fancy cameras or professional lenses. Besides, this is more about seeing and living true to life. It depends on our intention to experience our experience, directly, especially our visual world, without the labels or associations we typically place on our perceptions. We often tend to gloss over the world, on auto-pilot from here to there, either ignoring or immediately commenting internally on our experience.
