Mark Dahle Portfolios can be read in a few minutes and then enjoyed for a lifetime. Thought-provoking and beautiful, they feature an unusual combination of compelling photographs, brilliant paintings and deceptively simple text. This portfolio includes: a photo of a beautiful abstract painting - twenty-five beautiful photographs from Freiburg, Germany - a story about ten-year-old Aesop trying to think of a story that will keep him from being beat up by bullies. From the book: Aesop had been trying to think of another story that might help him escape the bullies. He’d had a whole day to think about it. But he had nothing.
