All the materials on this website and blog have been written by me, I hope with proper citations. If a hyperlink is not working (it happens sometimes) or a citation is in error or missing, please let me know.

I practice a form of contemplative photography called Miksang (Tibetan for "good eye").  All the pictures on this website were taken by me. (If I use one that is not mine, it will come with credit.)

I assert my copyright of all the materials on this website and blog.

I also grant permission to use my materials from this website and blog, provided the following citations are used:

• Photos: © Shannon Michael Pater, noticethejourney.com, used by permission. (Please hyperlink my website).

None of this is intended to be stuffy or a scold; I’m actually quite happy to share the fruit of my research and wish to be exceedingly generous. By including the “used by permission” notation, you are not only giving me credit, but also educating others that permission/consent is important. Those in private practice and independent artists like myself thank you!
