Photography as Visio Divina – Christine Valters Paintner

“Photography as a spiritual practice combines the active art of image-receiving with the contemplative nature and open-heartedness of prayer.  It cultivates what I call sacred seeing or seeing with the ‘eyes of the heart’ (Ephesians 1:18).  This kind of seeing is our ability to receive the world around us at a deeper lever than surface realities.”
