Because there's color in a black & white world
by Maria Magistro & Meg Schutte
Overview
From the Publisher
No matter who's living it, life has a certain sweetness about it. The small kindnesses, the fleeting fragrances, the way nature continually surprises. But it's easy to rush through the days, forgetting to stop and notice the wonderful world around us. Because There's Color in a Black & White World is a gentle reminder. Photographer Maria Magistro and writer Meg Schutte have created a book that communicates on many levels. With striking color-enhanced black-and-white images, the authors help us to see and be grateful for the color - or good - in everyday life. The touching, and often amusing, photos combine with simple truths about life that cut to the heart of what it's all about. Because There's Color in a Black & White World is the ideal book for everyone who wants to share their feelings about life in a way that's poignant and profound. It will be the gift-giving choice for Mother's Day, Father's Day, graduation, Christmas, birthdays, and every day.
My thoughts
I admit to having a fascination for photography. This book caught my eye because I like the concept of one time in a photograph in color while the rest of the picture is black and white.
Plus it was on sale for $0.99 at Bookcloseouts.com.
A one-star rating is probably a little harsh because the photography content was nice, but the photos weren't very original and the accompanying text certainly wasn't original. Still, it's a nice "gift" book and I was happy to spend a few minutes reading it.

Sometimes it's good just to be in the moment.
