Poetry sans Motion

The title of the book defines just what lies within it's pages. A collection of poetic phrases and digital photographs, enhanced and edited with the emotion or feeling that came across when I viewed it. It started with taking photos of the sunrise for a friend, who was missing them while attending morning yoga classes, and it grew to trips in the car taking pictures of what I thought was beautiful, or thought provoking. I spent the better part of a year roaming around a tri-county area stopping in parks, along the riversides, different neighborhoods, country backroads, etc'., with a camera in one hand and coffee in the other, my only passenger being a pen and paper, and I would jot down different phrases or idea's that came to mind from whatever area I was in. It got to be like therapy, being out in the open air, surrounded by nature and a peacefulness I longed for. I started sharing a few photos and phrases with a couple friends, and the idea for a book was born from the conversations that followed.
