Who Created This Magic?

Gary Gleason |

Gary Gleason is a writer, photographer, musician, master metaphysician, polyglot, entrepreneur, and athlete. He helped photograph, edit and produce the Nautilus-Award winning Meeting Your Magnificence: 111 Ways to Live from Your Higher Self, and recently completed the manuscript for Meeting Your Magnificence: 111 Ways to Love Yourself. Over the course of his world travels he has developed a photographic style uniquely his own focused on beauty in small and conspicuous subjects so easily overlooked. Much of his work is captured using iPhone and other small digital technologies. He thinks of his work as making paintings with a camera. He has been honored to collaborate with Carolyn on the Meeting Your Magnificence series, and to carry forward its simple yet powerful wisdom. He is also grateful for the healing gifts he is able to now share with the world.
