"Zen Photography: Blind Seeing"Workshop with Peter Cunningham: May 2-3, 2009

Professional photographer, Peter Cunningham
will be offering a special workshop on Zen Photography at the Empty Sound Temple. This
will be a rare opportunity to work up close with
a master of this medium. Never a dull moment when Peter is around, this promises to be stimulating, fun and highly creative.

Peter recently returned from his 4th trip to China where he is working with young Chinese photographers and completing Still Films and books around the theme of Cultural Evolution.
This might seem a long journey from his first
paid job as a photographer in 1973, when for
$25 he made Bruce Springsteen's first pictures
at Columbia Records and later did the same for Madonna. Peter learned to be a professional photographer creating images for famous performers in music and theater, he did this for
15 years until the birth of MTV made the field
less interesting. To view his work go to http://www.wordwiseweb.com/.

Where: Zen Community of Oak Park: Empty Sound Temple, 163 N. Humphrey Ave., Oak Park, IL 60302 (1 block west of Austin Blvd and 1/2 block north of Lake St.)
