A collection of 70 photographs by Victor Gagliardi,
accompanied by brief philosophical writings about: The Past, Happiness,
Friendship, Love,
Relationships, God, Religion & Death, Work, Achievement,
Travel & The World, Ways of Being, and The Future. A Turning Point-
Images to Words blends aesthetics with philosophical wisdom
and encouragement for the celebration of life.
A Turning Point-Images to Words is a reflection of my life and work
over a twelve year period. I collected these writings over a span of twenty years
from people whose words I found resonating within me. They also challenged my
perception of life. The continuity of the book is not in the photographs but is rather
achieved by the flow of the passages: one leads to the next.
The photographs
are there to support the writings, and not the reverse.
"This book reflects the process I went through in order to be able to do
the work I love. The book is about discovering what you love to do
and having your life move in that direction." -Victor Gagliardi
