The Grasshopper And The Flea: Some Things Never Change

Mark Dahle Portfolios can be read in a few minutes and then enjoyed for a lifetime. Thought-provoking and beautiful, they feature an unusual combination of compelling photographs, brilliant paintings and deceptively simple text.

This portfolio includes:

• a photo of a beautiful abstract painting
• twenty-seven photographs of fences in Basel,
  Switzerland
• a story about Aesop having remarkable difficulties writing a fable

From the portfolio:

Aesop was worried. He liked the morals at the end of his stories to stay put. But he had just written about a grasshopper and a flea, and the moral was hopping around.
