I hope you enjoy this free/paid issue of the starter. I began this project because I simply wanted to publish something that was positive, an easy read, something to enable readers to begin their week on a positive note.

Enjoy!

Shadow & Light Magazine Archives: Nathalie Seaver, Deconstructing Beauty: Nathalie was featured in the magazine a couple of years ago. She was also a find at the Los Angeles Center for Photography portfolio review. I found her work with flowers to be light and full of a spring sensibility. Since we are now into an official spring season, I thought, “Why not!” (image: Lisanthius Glow, ©Nathalie Seaver)
