Photographer Douglas Beasley's personal vision explores the spiritual aspects of people and place, and is concerned with how the sacred is recognized and expressed in everyday life. He hopes that his photographs act as prayer-like offerings and serve as a departure point for the viewer's own visual or spiritual journey. This new book offers a journey through the plains of South and North Dakota, and onward to the Hawaiian Islands, Peru and Ireland, as Beasley seeks to catch a glimpse of the sacred in the beauty of landscape, in sites like Wounded Knee or Corn Creek, in ancient hallowed places like Stonehenge and along the Oregon coast. These fascinating pictures, taken during numerous journeys in the past ten years, reveal how earth and spirit, though they exist independently, seem to merge.
