Photography As A Contemplative Practice – Christine Valters Paintner 

“Photography is often seen as a tool to be used for far-flung journeys and recording family events, but a photographic journey can also be taken right in your own neighborhood – as close as the block you live on – as a way of discovering in new ways the everyday places you inhabit.” 
— Christine Valters Paintner, PhD Eyes of the Heart: Photography as a Christian Contemplative Practice
