It has become a cult classic and the bible of photography for photographers around the world. The book is comprised of 162 ?poetic stanzas? that inspire and nurture readers. The book has been out of print and in demand for decades and in 2011 Robert Leverant is publishing an updated version. A multi-media exhibit and catalogue are planned to celebrate this much-anticipated event. Since 2009 Robert and three photographers: Jon Butler, Alfredo Marin-Carle and Marius Jomphe have interpreted 44 of the 162 ?poetic stanzas?. The remaining 118 poetic stanzas from the book will be open, as a contest, to be interpreted by 118 photographers from around the world. Both a catalogue and a multi-media exhibit then will be created using the 162 photographs and ?poetic stanzas? from ?Zen in the Art of Photography?. Entries will be accepted from photographers, worldwide, until November 30, 2011. Every entrant receives an autographed copy of Robert Leverant's 'ZEN in the Art of Photography'. www.ZenEntry.com ============================================================================================ 2011 Nature Photography Workshops with Nikhil Bahl: The workshops include local and travel workshops plus software training on Lightroom and Photoshop.

Introductory classes are offered aimed at be-ginners; those classes provide a very gentle overview of all aspects of photography in a 1 to 2 hour lecture. Intermedi-ate classes help beginners to understand the basics of pho-tography (lighting, equipment, composition) and are also helpful to those who wish to become better photographers. Some of the advanced classes can also be taken by begin-ners once they have some experience in photography. Ad-vanced techniques, such as understanding aperture, shutter speed, and exposure are useful for those who wish to ad-vance beyond the "point-and-shoot" style of photography. If the weather cooperates, classes frequently head outside to photograph in the Gardens for an hour or so after each class. William B.
