BOOK / PHOTOGRAPHY
The first time I mentioned this sunset coffee table book, it was with a “maybe one day” attitude never really believing I had the talent or ability to publish a book, let alone the self-confidence and courage to be so vulnerable as to bear my soul for the world to view my photos. I barely showed anyone my photographs nor did I even consider myself a photographer. But with love, compassion and encouragement from my Reiki Masters, Janet and James Orzano, I kept exploring this creative outlet. Photography made me feel calm, grounded and an unexplained peaceful joy would come over me when I was capturing images, mostly sunsets. This is the moment that the possibility of publishing a book was born and my love for photography was embraced.
This book is a part of my process of self-actualization; and all journeys of self-actualization are healing ones. I have always connected with God and the Universe through a deep love of nature. Nature has been a major part of my healing journey. One of the greatest lessons of such a process is to live from the present because it is truly the only real moment. Photography has taught me to be present; to be the silent, unattached observer and experience God’s gift of unconditional love through such indescribable beauty. As a Reiki and ITA Energy Medicine practitioner and Photographer, I heal through presence and these profound spiritual connections, I become more confident, living in Divine Light and Love.
Sunsets an Experience is a coffee table book of glorious Hudson River sunsets. The book is meant to be used as a meditative, healing tool. It is designed to be an experience. Your experience. I’m blessed and grateful to witness and experience these sunsets. By capturing these present moments, I am honored to spread this unconditional love for all to see.
You are invited to fall deeply into the images; to feel surrounded by the color, energy and shades of light; to be the silent observer; to form a connection with each image to awaken the soul, lift the spirit and get what is needed from them in the moment. Go back to them again and again when you need moments of presence. Many of the photographs in the book are taken from the same locations. However, by being present and observing, the image shifts. As I change my perception of the scene before me through the lens of the camera, my relationship to its changes and it becomes a completely new experience. I hope it does the same for you. Most of all, I hope I’ve inspired you to get out in the world and into nature. Experience as many sunsets as you can.
