There are moments when it just seems that beautiful people doing beautiful things in beautiful places is all that's really happening and all that I have to do is pay attention and enjoy what's in front of me.

I came across a quote by Samuel Johnson somewhere on the journey that I carried in my thoughts each moment I felt mesmerized by something in this glorious city:

A dedicated yoga practitioner himself, Sturman's work has increasingly focused on capturing the timeless grace and embodied mindfulness of asana. His portraits, whether set in the lively streets of Manhattan, the expansiveness of Malibu's beaches and canyons, the timeless elegance of Walden's New England, or the bleakness of San Quentin Prison, remind us that there is beauty everywhere. In Sturman's own words "I often think of Rumi: 'I can't stop pointing to the beauty.' That feels right to me."
