Thrilling imagery!!

This compilation of truly remarkable imagery is astounding. Such beauty in these pages the story of how all this work came together is inspiring as well. In complicated times to have brought it all together and sustained it was a challenge I’m sure, and sadly the turmoil in the country brought it to an end. Incredibly tit was all meticulously recorded and this beautiful book is the result. Bravo to all who made it come to be.
