Description
Summary:"The zen circle -- ensō -- is wonderfully simple: an immediately brushed circle, no thinking, no planning, no trying to make it good, and presto -- you yourself and the whole of reality is expressed. Circle: endless journey: every step away from the beginning is a step toward the beginning. Every step the start and the finish. In this wondrous book of photographic ensōs, (including appreciations by the famed calligrapher Kazuaki Tanahashi and poet and zen monk Ninso John High) David Scheinbaum expresses a lifetime of photographic expertise -- as well as a lifetime of wondrous looking, thinking, and living. Effortlessly moving in rich variety, these luminous images express the whole truth. You will love contemplating them again and again"--Back cover.
