Podrobnosti o e‑knize

"To Laugh At Ourselves" is a humorous collection of photographs and quotations. The quotes range from Emerson to Henry Miller.  With gentle humor, he attempts to reveal his sense of wonder at the miracle of being alive!   The more he reveals, the more we see, the richer the celebration our life becomes.  The juxtaposition of a quote to particular photographs creates a loving look at the human condition.

About this book, Tom Robbins writes, “ . . . Pearsonʼs discerning eye is an eye that seems especially attuned to recognize the sublime in the ridiculous . . . I loved the book.”

Malcolm Margolin writes, “ . . . If I were to have stumbled on these photos anywhere, I would have instantly recognized them as yours - the joy, the rambunctious humor and love of humanity . . . “ 

Richard Stoltzman says, "This book is fantastic."
