Paul gave a presentation at my local photographic society of which I am a member. It was incredibly interesting to hear his story, see his early work, and his transformation and recent work. The book covers this well and presents the idea that mindfulness and photography can go hand in hand. As a person who appreciates nature, mindfulness, and photography this book reverberates my thoughts on the subjects and explores my favourite hobby as a practice to complement attention, gratitude, insight, self-reflection, and the myriad of related mindfulness concepts. Brilliant book, brilliant person. I could see myself being good friends with Paul.
