Quarantining during the COVID pandemic offered photographer David Scheinbaum the removal of life's distractions and the time and focus to embark on a long-desired path to work camera-less. Using the tools of a Zen calligrapher and darkroom chemistry, Scheinbaum's creative process involved exposure of photographic paper, using various brush types brushing on chemistry under a dim safelight, sometimes using fixer, other times developer, at times both. His technique varied with each image.This beautiful book presents a portfolio of Scheinbaum's ensō drawings with an insightful essay by Zen monk and poet Ninso John High and an introduction by Zen calligrapher, teacher, author, and Buddhist translator Kazuaki Tanahashi. The book includes examples of Tanahashi's and High's recognizable vibrant colored ensōs.
