From the publisher's page:
Through mindful techniques that you can use both when you are shooting and when you are looking at other people’s work, you can develop skills that will advance your photography in surprising ways.
Author, Roxanne Bouché Overton, takes you through innovative steps that can have an explosive effect on your photography skills. These pages are filled with easy to follow steps that will help you develop your own personal style.
There is also an easy-to-understand recipe that you can take every time you go out to shoot that will help you bring home the photographs you can’t wait to share. Her experience has shown her that if she gets three of her elements into a shot it’s going to be pretty good. If she gets four, it’s knocking on seriously good territory. When she nails all five - she has a shot with the potential to be exceptional.
Roxanne will also tell you how she uses social networking in a positive way to further improve her work.

On the west side of Corsica, some 70km North of Ajaccio, they have an area with some amazing colourful rock formations called Calanches de Piana. Not far from that place is this beautiful little town called Piana. We walked around for a bit in that quiet little town…
Centuries old stone houses where people hanged their clothes to dry in front of their door. A guy was detailing his Suzuki Bandit 1250 in the central courtyard. Bushes of oranges, ready to pick, everywhere. Neighbours sitting in front of their door talking to eachother. Birds singing. My stress levels came down 600%. I've never in my life experienced so much tranquility. Tranquility came out of my ears. Last year I was on a mindfullness retraite high in the Himalaya with the Dalai Lama, meditating for 30 days straight without wifi, but even then I did not experience the peace I felt in Piana. I tell you no lie. I want to be part of this community man. I want peace.

Rocas de oração. Prayer Wheels.
Kathmandu, Nepal
.........................................................................................................
The reason 'prayer wheels' are used is to accumulate wisdom and merit or good karma and to purify negativities such as bad karma. The idea of spinning mantras comes from numerous Tantric practices where the Tantric practitioner visualizes mantras revolving around the nadis and especially around the meridian chakras such as the heart and crown. Therefore prayer wheels can be seen as an external visual aid for developing one's capacity for these types of Tantric visualizations. The spiritual method for those practicing with a prayer wheel is very specific (with slight variations according to different Buddhist sects). The practitioner most often spins the wheel clockwise. This was determined because the direction the mantras are written is based on the movement of the sun across the sky. However, on rare occasions advanced Tantric practitioners such as Sangye Drolma, the Lion-Faced dakini spin prayer wheels counterclockwise to manifest a more wrathful protective energy. Before, during and after the practitioner turns the wheel, it is best to focus the mind and repeat the Om Mani Padme Hum mantra, this will increase the merit incurred by the wheel's use. Intoning the mani mantra with mindfullness and the "Bodhicitta" motivation dramatically enhances the effects of the prayer wheel. However, even turning it while distracted has benefits and merits and it states in the lineage text that even insects that cross a prayer wheel's shadow will get some benefit. Each revolution is considered as meritorious as reading the inscription aloud as many times as it is written on the scroll. This means that the more Om Mani Padme Hum mantras that are inside a prayer wheel then the more powerful it is. The wheel must not be spun too fast or frantically, but held upright (if a hand-held wheel) and turned smoothly with the motivation and spirit of compassion and bodhichitta (the noble mind that aspires to full enlightenment for the benefit of all beings). Which, it's been stated, are some of the benefits attributed to the practice of turning the wheel. It helps wisdom, compassion and bodhichitta arise in the practitioner. The practitioner should also repeat the mantra as many times as possible during the turning of the wheel, and keep a calm meditative mind. Also, there's a Tibetan Buddhist tradition of asking the Buddhas and bodhisattvas to dedicate any accumulated merits that you may have gathered during your practice to all sentient beings. This is standard to complete any Buddhist practice including such of the prayer wheel.

On A Night of Snow - Elizabeth Coatsworth
Cat, if you go outdoors, you must walk in the snow.
You will come back with little white shoes on your feet,
little white shoes of snow that have heels of sleet.
Stay by the fire, my Cat. Lie still, do not go.
See how the flames are leaping and hissing low,
I will bring you a saucer of milk like a marguerite,
so white and so smooth, so spherical and so sweet -
stay with me, Cat. Outdoors the wild winds blow.
Outdoors the wild winds blow, Mistress, and dark is the night,
strange voices cry in the trees, intoning strange lore,
and more than cats move, lit by our eyes green light,
on silent feet where the meadow grasses hang hoar -
Mistress, there are portents abroad of magic and might,
and things that are yet to be done. Open the door!
