This story resonates deeply with me, and I approach much of my work from a similar vein. Two photographers come to mind, the first is Minor White. The other is contemporary, David Ulrich. Ulrich was Minor's assistant for 6 years before his death. David has also written two wonderful books where he mentions Zen often. The first is, Zen Camera, and the second is his latest, The Mindful Photographer. They are my two current favorite photography books. All the best to you, M.H.
