Souvenirs for the Present | Julia Champtaloup Reflecting gratitude in a moment’s observation, Julia Champtaloup's images encourage a way of seeing that offers comfort within today’s living world. Seeing beauty in the present moment within dark times is also a metaphor for connecting deeper with our environment, ourselves and those close to us, within the confines of a more limited world.
