About the event
“The camera is a perfect Zen tool.” – Thomas Merton
Join gallery artist and photographer Robert Bridges for a unique macro photography experience rooted in mindfulness and creative exploration. This free evening workshop invites participants to embrace the spirit of “Beginner’s Mind” — seeing the world with fresh eyes and an open heart.
We’ll meet at Sun Sapphires at 5:00 PM on Friday, August 1st, then wander through the streets of Durango together, photographing whatever catches our attention. Whether you’re using a digital camera, smartphone, or film, this walk is about intuitive seeing — not technique.
No experience is necessary. Just bring a camera, curiosity, and a willingness to look closely. This is a relaxed, supportive space for anyone who wants to reconnect with the magic of observation and light.
Free to attend, but please sign up in advance.
