"Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous" Bill Moyers I started this book to celebrate the simple and often unnoticed beauty that can be found in the most mundane settings of everyday life. I live in a terrace house and some 8 meters across my house is a long row of terrace houses. I used to lament how uninteresting and unstimulating my window view was. Now I know how wrong I had been! I am grateful how this personal project turned out to be personally rewarding and enriching. A lesson that will always stay with me: Before one can have new eyes and new perspectives, one needs renewal in attitudes. To learn, unlearn and relearn, that is what I will endeavor to live my life by. Thank you for sharing my window perspective, I hope your window view will never look the same again :D The book with hard cover binding contains close to 70 original photographs, all taken from ONE window perspective. Makes a delightful coffee table book gift for yourself and friends :D
