Miksang, which means means “good eye” in Tibetian, is style of meditative photography which encourages contemplative perception of the surrounding environment. Due to its inherently subjective nature, miksang is hard to define, but for me it is about capturing the shapes, textures, and patterns that I see all around me precisely when I am not looking.

I first heard about miksang from Chandrasutra after viewing her Recycled Miksang gallery, and was suprised to find that I had been practicing this style of photography for quite some time without even knowing it. For more examples of miksang, you can see my Miksang Set on Flickr as well as an entire Flickr group devoted to the practice.
