finding beauty in the everyday 3...

windows
by donovan holtz

across the headlands
the forest masses
under gray skies
and mist
into a solid wall
of muted gray
through which cars
glide skirting noiselessly
the rocky edge.
through a window
i watch, windows are
for watching -
square pieces of life
ever changing.

The 8x10 in. album is a custom layout, uniquely designed by yours truly! Every book is different and can have multiple pictures per page. Mostly used for wedding albums, but can be used for portrait sessions also.









Books can have either image wrap covers where there is an image on the front and back of books or you can use any of the paper samples below as book covers.
