A Turning Point Photography by Victor Gagliardi |
 |
Imagine a conversation between a photographer and over fifty of the greatest thinkers of 3000 years of human history. The result is a book of philosophy and photography so subtle and so exquisite you'll gain new insight on life and being every time you open it.
A Turning Point: Images to Words is a collection of seventy extraordinary photographs selected to harmonize with brief philosophical writings by the finest minds of the last three millennia concerning: the Past, Happiness, Friendship, Love Relationships, God, Religion, Death, Work, Achievement, Travel, the World, Ways of Being, and the Future.

As a man's real power grows and
his knowledge widens --Ursula K. LeGuin

A Turning Point: Images to Words blends aesthetics with philosophical wisdom and encouragement for the celebration of life. Each passage leads to the next, while being illustrated by a photograph carefully selected to clarify and distill the meaning of the text. This sensuously beautiful book is a delight for the mind, a joy to the eyes and a pleasure to the fingers as one caresses the Italian silk paper encased in a cloth-covered binding.

Victor Gagliardi is an internationally regarded fine art photographer. For twenty years, he has traveled the United States, Europe, South America, the Caribbean and the Middle East, capturing the extraordinary in the ordinary. His cibachrome photographs, many of which are reproduced in this book, are sold through his two galleries in New York to collectors and corporations world-wide.
Victors intent was to share his perspective on life centered on discovering what you love to do and having your life move in that direction. Victor says that he wants the book to be "an authentic expression of my life, my values, and my art."
We think you'll agree that he succeeds.
