From Wikipedia: 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's reality.[1] I like this concept, though I can't always claim to be in a miksang frame of mind, and, of course, I do a lot of post-processing.

Very beautiful pictures and beautiful photography and creativity and I wish you happiness and health.
Wonderful album, colourful and geometrical. Really a reference !

Really love to see your work, I have to admit that is has opened a new door for me in as much as that I can be a bit more adventuress when it comes to colour, large areas of bold 'in your face' colour, although I have yet to learn the balance.
J'aime beaucoup les photos que Donna nous présente ici. Son oeil parvient à trouver des combinaisons intéressantes et très originales de lignes et de couleurs. Son cadrage restructure la réalité pour en donner une vision souvent abstraite, et remarquablement esthétique.
