The Practice of Looking

$14.00

A quiet practice for resting your attention in the visible world.

A quiet practice for resting your attention in the visible world.

This is not a productivity tool, a mindfulness routine, or a way to improve or optimize yourself.

It’s a small collection of visual practices designed to give your eyes somewhere sane to land — especially in moments when attention feels pulled, overstimulated, or restless.

Rather than asking you to turn inward or analyze your experience, these practices gently orient attention outward, toward what is already here.

This guide may be useful if:

  • your attention feels scattered or fatigued

  • inward-focused practices feel like too much

  • you want something concrete and external

  • you’re looking for a way to reorient without effort or explanation

There’s nothing to master here, and nothing to get right.

What this is

  • seven simple visual attention practices

  • designed to take about 5–10 minutes

  • usable anywhere, without preparation

  • no schedule or progress to keep up with

The practices work by gently shifting attention outward — toward light, pattern, movement, and scale — allowing the nervous system to settle without effort or interpretation.

They’re meant to be returned to, not completed.

About the camera

The guide includes gentle camera notes throughout — offered as invitations, not instructions.

A camera is never required, and the practices work just as well without one.
Your eyes are enough.

What this is not

  • a meditation program

  • a self-improvement system

  • a solution to anything

There’s no promise of clarity, healing, or transformation.
Just a way to reorient when things feel thin or noisy.

A quiet way to reorient and return to the world a little steadier.
