“From The Field” is a collection of images…

…taken from 1975 – 2010, which brings focus to the diversity within the manifested world of form as witnessed on the seven continents of Earth.

This is an intimate visual story of the trees and rocks, the oceans and animals, from microcosm to macrocosm. It is also a beautiful document of the human condition, from ancient civilizations and nomadic culture into the rapid ascent of technological society.

The subjects within these pages are as varied as the landscape, life forms from which we refine our evolving awareness. At the heart of this awareness lies the potential to chart new directions through compassion and respect for all living things.

“Untitled”

Photography by Mark Zelinski
pub. 2010, From The Heart Publishing
Hardcover, 120 pages, over 140 color photographs, no text
*Previously Not For Sale, for a limited time only – signed copies of UNTITLED
are now available as a fundraiser to support The Books That Heal Initiative for children’s charities.
Diverse, intimate cultural portraits…

…comprise a global family album. The portraits for “Untitled” were taken in 70 countries over a 35-year period. The book is not for sale in bookstores. It contains no words, and has been created exclusively as a gift to children and illiterate adults in deprived areas of the world with little or no access to books or internet. Many charities are distributing the book internationally.

An interesting point about the book’s production: the recycled paper used for this first print run has created minor flaws in the photos, giving each book an individual organic code or “fingerprint”.
