ONE HUNDRED FLOWERS is a joy to behold! Harold Feinstein's magnificent photography of the flowers that grace our gardens are enclosed within the pages of this spectacular new book in a way not seen before. He teams with Gregory Piotrowski, who skillfully provides the lilting prose for this endeavor giving the reader information about each of the hundred and leaving him wanting to know more. After examining these glorious photographs, I don't think I will ever look at a flower in quite the same way again. Mr. Feinstein's photography pulls the reader into a place of brilliant color, design, and fluidity. This "bee's view" as it is called, allows the reader to see into the very soul of each flower pictured. One takes away a new appreciation of the miracles of creation. You will give yourself a gift by owning this book. I plan to purchase it for friends and family as I strongly feel that no one should be deprived the beauty, the sensuousness, the vitality found springing to life on the pages of ONE HUNDRED FLOWERS. I can only hope for one hundred more!

I have spent years practicing meditation and exploring the Christian and Buddhist concept of living in the moment and appreciating the beauty of the world around you. When I saw Harold's book I understood! Each image is breath taking and you see the extraordinary in the very flowers that go unappreciated and we pass by each day. He captures the meaning of "being in the moment" with each image...perfect in thier imperfection, beauty beyond belief and exquisite treasures...a meditiation and reminder to slow down, and "smell the roses"...and lilacs, and peonies, and dandelions, and iris, and lilies.... I can't wait for his new book on...FOLIAGE!

This is a beatiful book with extreme close-ups of many different types of flowers. The large size also is a plus so that each image looks grand and brilliant.
