For many of us, we are caught between a life we have and a life we want, a life we dreamed of, a profound life, an adventurous life, a memorable life. Escape is the rope that has been dropped down to us from atop the cliff, how we get closer to that feeling, that feeling of true living and life.
Books are an escape, and coffee table books, full of imagery and composition, can be even more transporting. Even seeing a cover on a dusty shelf out of the corner of our eye elicits a moment of intrigue. You want to look inside and discover something. If you’re at a friend’s home, they want you to know that there’s something in there that is special to them. They want you to open it. You want to open it too, so you should.
If it’s in your house, you wanted to have a little escape, and once it’s there, it’s a part of you that hopes others want to escape with you. Those are the feelings, of connection, of inspiration, that glow when you open one of these books. These books are part of the life worth living and dreaming for.
These are books that I genuinely love, and those are the feelings I want to share with you, and have you share with others. I hope you enjoy them as I do, perhaps so one day we might meet by happenstance and get to share our adventures together.
