| My children, who knew that I was at the
dusk of my life, have encouraged me to publish a book with some of my
photographs taken over the past few years. With their support, I
decided to risk embarrassment and publish this book. This book is an
attempt to document my efforts to discover and capture the sprit of beauty in nature.
My photographs may be unripened, my ideas
unpolished but my wish is only to share my moments of heartfelt joy
while standing in the beauty of nature. Our wise men of the past had
harmonious and humble lives in the presence of nature. In the bosom of
nature, in her accepting embrace, their lives were blossoming flowers
of love. I write this welcoming note wishing that all of us today will
have fruitful lives in this beautiful land. Jan 2000 Chang
