What we repeatedly notice, we strengthen. This contemplative photography course invites participants to use the camera as a daily practice of gratitude and attention. Through simple, gentle photographic assignments, students will create one image each day of something they are grateful for—something that nourishes, supports, or quietly holds their life. Research in psychology and neuroscience suggests that gratitude practices can help rewire the brain, softening habitual patterns of anxiety, worry, and negativity. This five-week course approaches that insight not as self-improvement, but as training in attention: learning to notice what is already here, what is already sustaining us. In contemplative photography, the camera becomes a form of meditation. The lens always looks in two directions—toward the world, and toward the one who is choosing to notice. Over time, these images become both a record of gratitude and a quiet portrait of what gives our lives meaning. A smartphone camera is more than sufficient. No prior photography experience is necessary.
