I ordered this last year . The beauty of the black and white photographs are memorizing.
When a friend (who was a life-long avid bird watcher) found out he had terminal cancer with only had about six months to live, I decided to give him the beautiful book. I signed as if it were a greeting card . He thought it was beautiful . His wife said that as he got weaker and felt too ill to do much , one of the things he had strength to do was look at the lovely hypnotic photographs . The book was small and easy for him to pick it up. It was near his bed . She said the images were pleasing & relaxing to him at a most difficult time . I imagine , as a bird watcher , in his last days , he identified with the vulnerability of beautiful birds and the message of the book, which is; we have much in common with creatures in the wild .

When the beauty of nature meets the world of art and the world of literature, a special trinity is developed. Visual art often reflects the images we are unable to articulate. Literature puts into words the things we feel. Nature is an intrinsic part of our world and our own Human Nature. Winged Soul is a fine art project of black and white photography. It is also a project of poetry and mythology. Its goal is to bring these creative aspects into harmony with our own human knowledge and experiences. As humans, we've derived some of our greatest strides from the natural world. Often, however, the natural world has meant discomfort for us in our safe houses and villages. We often forget that we are part of the nature outside our front doors. Winged Soul is a pathway to help us look again at nature. It's a way to bring nature into our homes as beauty and art. It also underscores the simple truth that we aren't so very different from the creatures with whom we share the planet. Lastly, it’s a book of encouragement. It tells a story about taking wing and rising above it all, both literally and figuratively.

I ordered this book as a Christmas gift for my 14 year old, artistic daughter, yet it was difficult for me to wrap it up for her! I enjoyed reading the insightful poetry and getting lost in the mystical photographs-- over and over. Finally, I forced myself to wrap it up and I gave it to my daughter yesterday. I know she will find it to be amazing as well!

Not merely a run-of-the-mill book of inspiration and photographs"Winged Soul" touches on the nature of beauty, the inviolability of free will, Taoist philosophy, etc., etc. Plus... Oddly enough and compellingly so... Social commentary! And the photographs! Beautiful and sublime. Worth looking through at least twice.
