Miksang is a Tibetan word meaning "good eye." It represents a form of contemplative photography based on the Dharma Art teachings of Chögyam Trungpa, in which the eye is in synchronisation with the contemplative mind. The result of this particular perception of the world, combined with photography, produces a peculiar and open way of seeing the world. Miksang pictures tend to bring the observer back into the original contemplation state of the author of the picture. The pictures can bring one back to a purer perception of reality that is often neglected. Miksang involves nothing fancy, no special setup; only a visual capture, in the proper state of mind, of everyday reality (reference from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miksang).

After listening to the Dali Lama speak in Miami, I embraced the concept of never letting go of my inner child. One of the things that kids do, which some of us forget as adults, is to observe with an innocent inquisitiveness and with eyes full of wonder. My photography captures those close up moments of the unexpected - Nancy Iannitelli
