New Visionary World Photography Books Doors And Hands Now Available For Order


I had a few photographs published by the great folks at Visionary World in Hong Kong awhile back. If you get a chance, check them out.

Doors

“Teachers open the door. You enter by yourself.” Chinese proverb.

Doors are symbols of passage, guardians of unknown treasures.Their character offers a hint of what lies behind.

Appearing in all shapes, sizes and colors, inviting or repelling, bold or subdued, doors stand between ourselves and the unknown. Doors speak to our imagination as we fantasize about the lives they protect.

The variety of doors across Asia is without equal. Serene temples, magnificent forts and golden palaces, immaculate mansions, urban housing and nomadic tents.

Asia Unique opens the door to the richness of this fascinating continent.
“Doors” highlights the extraordinary diversity of entrances and passageways across Asia captured in 132 stunning color photographs and enriched by inspirational Asian quotes and proverbs related to doors.

Hands

“A helping hand makes a happy heart.” Chinese proverb.

Hands are expressions of ourselves, measures by which we may be understood. Stretched out in acceptance or clenched in defiance hands communicate our emotions; weathered in the fields or immaculately manicured in the salon they reflect our lifestyle.
Hands caress, pray, fight, dance, labor, greet, hug, hold, gesture and help.Looking at hands across Asia is a journey of discovery, of stories untold.
Asia Unique takes you by the hand to bring you the richness of this fascinating continent.

“Hands” highlights the extraordinary diversity and character of hands across Asia, captured in 135 stunning color photographs and enriched by inspirational Asian quotes and proverbs related to hands.

You can check out "HANDS" here and look at "DOORS" here. Order and enjoy!
