"All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt."

What happens when 73 Google Plus Female Photographers, Artists and Writers get together and do a book for charity?  How We See It...the nature of our worlds is the result. Just published on Blurb.com +Blurb Books This book benefits the +HWSI  #HWSI  charity, the NOW Love Your Body Foundation (http://loveyourbody.nowfoundation.org), an organization that deals with body image issues and eating disorders.  100% of the profits of this third HWSI book will go to charity.  The book is now available on Blurb in the hardcover version and a PDF version with an eBook version coming shortly.  I am sure that the ladies involved with the project will be sharing this project with all of you as well.  Thank you to all 72 of you! You are all wonderful, and your work and support of this project is incredible!

Six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Moments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

In five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure
A year in the life?
