Little Book of Contemplative Photography by Howard Zehr

Little Book of Contemplative Photography by Howard Zehr

Restorative justice pioneer Howard Zehr is also an accomplished photographer. He begins his latest book with a confession--I have written this book in part to encourage myself to slow down, to heighten my imagination, to renew myself while I gain a new view of the creation and the creator. With this book, Zehr makes a gift to anyone who would like to couple photography with seeing and thinking more deeply. In each chapter he offers a Purpose, a Problem, and an Activity with a camera in order to practice mindfulness. You'll not need a fancy camera, but if you have one it won't hurt. Zehr's chapter-by-chapter exercises are aimed at heightening visual awareness and imagination--all while doing good and working for justice. A title in The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding Series.

Howard Zehr is often referred to as the Father of Restorative Justice. Since 1996, he has served as Professor of Restorative Justice at Eastern Mennonite University's Center for Justice & Peacebuilding in Harrisonburg, Virginia, an international graduate program for justice and peacebuilding practitioners. Doing Life: Reflections of Men and Women Serving Life Sentences and Transcending: Reflections of Crime Victims (both with Good Books) are two further portrait/interview books by Howard. Shifting Lenses: A New Perspective for Crime and Justice (Good Books) and The Little Book of Restorative Justice (Good Books) are two of his other works and publications. Throughout North America and globally, he is a frequent lecturer and consultant on themes of justice. Zehr has also worked as a photographer in the past.
