Satori Colorado 2009Perhaps a little late, but hopefully better than never, I have published my first fine art photography calendar entitled "Satori Colorado 2009".
In this first edition of the Satori series, I hope to impart that flash of insight, presence, and understanding (Satori) of the natural world that I experienced while capturing these images. It is a celebration and appreciation of beauty in all forms and a reminder of our connectedness with each other and the universe.
10% of proceeds will be contributed to the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education (CAEE) in order to promote stewardship and responsible enjoyment of the natural places we cherish.
With your help, I hope to establish this as a tradition for years to come and add many other locations.
Best wishes for 2009,
Paul Schlarman
